January is the time of year we plan out what we are going to achieve in the next 12 months. We think about our hopes and dreams. This will include things like being healthier, doing more, our jobs and our homes. This is why you might want to prepare your home to sell in January. People will be considering buying a new home or moving house in Peterborough. If you prepare your home for sale in January, yours could be the home they choose.
January has a refreshed feel for everyone, it also a time when the housing market is refreshed too. Often, October will show a slight decline in movement in the property world. There is then the added rush in the spring months. January is the slight incline we see every year before the rush of spring.
Does the housing rush of spring mean that spring is when you should sell your home?
It’s true, a vast majority of homeowners in Peterborough opt to sell their home in spring. However, this means that there is a saturated market. In turn, there is lots of competition between people trying to see their homes. This results in a buyers’ market which can mean a deflation in the price of your home that you want to achieve. House sales will tend to take longer in the spring rush too. This is because estate agents, conveyancers, surveyors, and more are all busy with the other house sales.
Meanwhile, if you prepare your home to sell in January then your home is ready when people start looking for a new home to start the new year. You can get your property on the market sooner than other properties. You’ve prepared for the sale of your home. This means you are already ahead of the rest of home sellers that are considering plans to sell their home over the Christmas downtime.
The sooner you can get your property on the market for the new year, the sooner conveyancing solicitors can be instructed. They can then begin preparing the documents needed when the house sale goes through. In turn, this will help speed up the house sale process.
If you’re considering selling your home in the new year, get ready now. By speaking to our team of friendly estate agents in Peterborough, we can get your property on the market before the rush. This could lead to a better sale arrangement for your home and a smoother process when selling your house too.
