Spring signals a superb time to sell you property

April 13, 2016

After our drizzly, bleak winter, the tulips and daffodils are beginning to reappear from their hibernation, gesturing to the arrival of spring. The longer days and freshly blooming gardens play a pivotal role in why spring is unquestionably the best time to sell your property. Not only does a property look more attractive and inviting under a blanket of springs sunshine, the ‘moving bug’ resurfaces and proves that there are a greater number of house hunters in the brighter weather.

Previous year’s statistics suggest that there is an increase in the number of buyers actively looking to buy a property in the spring time. Purchasers will no longer be deterred by having to wrap up with extra layers to face the chillier climates. With a limited number of houses for sale, the demand for each property is high; forcing out the better offers and generating the deal you have been seeking for your property.

The spring doesn’t generally tend to throw out any large scale celebrations such as Christmas or the summer holidays, which are both renowned for interfering with sales negotiations. The months from March until mid-July are widely heralded as the prime time for selling property. Spring is reinforced as the number one season for property sales because buyers have an ideal vision of moving into their new home in time for summer.

To get your house ready for a sale, spring is the optimal time. It tends to be a lot easier to get your property ready and carry out DIY without the dirt that tends to appear traipsed through the house during winter, or working around the children at home during their summer holidays. Of course your home will have to look its best to beat the steep competition at the busiest time of year.
