Boxing Day is well known as a day for bargain hunters. It’s a day when people go sales shopping, on the hunt for a great bargain. However, in recent years it has also become very popular for house hunters too. A lot of people have time to sit and relax with their families. Having more people in the house, a large Christmas tree and all the wonderful presents can remind people just how small or large their home is. This results in thoughts of moving house.
So, does your home need to be ready for the Boxing Day Boom?
Yes and No.
All estate agents and house sales platforms see a huge surge in traffic on Boxing Day. More people browse for their next home on RightMove and Zoopla on Boxing Day than any other day of the year. This means that your house is likely to be seen if it is ready for the Boxing Day boom.
However, that doesn’t mean that these houses sell. Instead, it can mean that there are more houses in competition with your own. So, if you have a house down the street the same as yours with something more modern or updated, you could miss out on the house buyer. It could do the opposite and make yours stand out from the neighbours.
There is a general feel of ‘New Year New Start’ – and that often means a house move for some people. However, the festive period is becoming lots busier for many families. They are rushing from one family to another, while squeezing in another family visit too. People might have a quick scroll on the house sites – but will they have time to look properly?
