Spring has historically been a popular time to list a property for sale, however putting your home on the market in Autumn can see huge rewards. We’ve got five reasons why you should sell in Autumn.
1. Less listings = less competition
Listing your property in a ‘quieter’ season means less competition in the market, allowing your home to stand out and attract more interest.
2. Less school holidays
In early Autumn, especially March there are no school holidays meaning buyers will be available to attend more open homes.
3. More serious buyers
You have a larger pool of buyers during the peak seasons which can result in a lot of ‘tyre kickers’ who may not be serious buyers. In off-peak times you’re more likely to find serious buyers who are looking to purchase due to circumstance rather than season.
4. Great weather
Similar to Spring, the weather in Autumn is great house-hunting weather. The cooler, less humid days attract more buyers, where the heat in summer or cold in winter may deter potential buyers.
5. Timing
Moving houses can de stressful, and often buyers will push to have a new home secured in time for holiday periods. Purchasing a home in Autumn allows enough time to move in before Christmas and the new year even with a long settlement.
