Christmas is a very busy but joyful time of the year that most do look forward to. With the stresses of being busy, the last thing that you would want to think of is putting your home on the market… but it could be the best move that you have ever made!

Here’s why:

Decrease in competition

During Christmas there tends to be a lack of properties that are up for sale which means there will be a large decrease in competition. This then increases competition for buyers in the property market, hence the potential of a quick sale.

More time

We all know how busy most of us are right at Christmas time, but we must also be aware that many have some time right before or right after Christmas off. This then gives a lot more time for potential buyers to seriously look into purchasing. They will have time to physically go into the estate agency and more time to make calls to agents.

A new year, a new start!

We have all heard about ‘new year’s resolutions’ or the thought of a new year bringing a new start, a change in lifestyle and a fresh view on things. With this kind of mind set, purchasers who have been toying with the idea of buying in a new area, or a new home are more likely going to act now.

Tis the season to be jolly…

Although very busy are most, happiness, togetherness and joy tend to be in the air around this time. With people in this mood, the thought of purchasing a new home is very enticing for them.

Christmas spirit

If you are one to decorate your home for Christmas time then you are in luck! Decorating your property can be a huge advantage to you. At inspections potential buyers want to be able to imagine themselves in the home, having the home decorated and feeling very homely can help them picture what it would be like to live there. They imagine Christmas lunch in your beautiful outdoor entertaining area, opening pressies under the tree in the family room and welcoming family members through the decorated front door. It is very important though not to go overboard with the decorations!

If you have been thinking of selling for a while, now is time!
