It is easy to see why a lot of homeowners aren’t interested in selling their home in winter. Spring is traditionally the busy time of year in the English property market. In winter, you want to stay warm and cosy, and the thought of preparing your home for buyers isn’t an appealing one. However, there are strong reasons why you should consider selling your home in winter.
At Spencer Harvey, we believe the property market in the north of England is active all-year round. Traditionally, there were notable lulls in the market, but nowadays, this isn’t as prominent as it was. The emergence of online property portals has transformed the market, making it easier for buyers to view homes and fall in love from the comfort of their own home.
If you’re thinking of selling your Stockport home, we can help
Therefore, if you want to sell your home, you can be confident there are willing buyers. Here are some of the key reasons to consider selling your home this winter:
- In winter, there is less competition in the market, as some homeowners won’t attempt to sell their home
- Homes look welcoming and appealing in winter, and you may persuade a buyer to fall in love with your property
- If a buyer is looking at homes at this time of year, arranging a viewing, they are likely very committed to the process
- There is significant traffic on leading property portals between Christmas and New Year, so buyers are looking
- More and more buyers want the full family engaged with the buying process, so viewings during school holidays are important
- If you plan on enjoying a fresh start in New Year, selling your home in winter makes perfect sense
One, some or all these reasons may strike a chord with you, and it could be time to sell your home. Yes, there will be some inconveniences in selling your home in winter, but this is true regardless of the time of year. If you are looking to make the most of the increased buyer demand between Christmas and New Year, there is a lot to be said for being present online.
