Have you been considering selling your home or moving house? You may have heard that Summer is the worst time to sell your home. However, that is not always the case. People are always looking to buy a new home or move house, no matter the time of the year. If someone is looking for a new home right now – they won’t wait until later in the year. If yours isn’t on the market, they will just buy someone else’s.
In this blog post we look at the benefits of selling your home this summer and why it could be the perfect time to sell your house in Peterborough.
One of the biggest benefits of summer is the weather. This means long school holidays, where people realise just how small their homes are when the kids are there all the time. It also brings long sunny days and longer daylight hours. These are just some of the factors of summer that will positively impact the sale of your home.
Every home looks great with the sun shining on it. It brings out the shine in the windows, the colours of the garden and the natural light within the home. These all help to create the best possible first impression of your home. These lighter hours also go well into the evening, opening up later viewing appointments for your home. People don’t need to juggle work or squeeze in a viewing on their lunchbreak. Instead, they can pop by after work or even after dinner.
A lot of parents will also have time off work during the school holidays to be with their children. This means that they have more time to arrange house viewings and visit your home. Serious buyers don’t let family BBQs and sports events get in their way. Instead, they are focused on viewing and buying a new home. This can mean that your home will sell a lot quicker during the summer months. These buyers want to find their new home before the kids go back to school. They want to be totally settled in their new homes by Christmas – so they are focused on paying the asking price and moving quickly.
Some parents also want to be in a new home to ensure that they are in the catchment area for the local school. This is another reason that they will be happy to pay asking price, or even a little bit more. They will also want to sale to go through quickly so their child can get into the school of their choosing.
There is no right or wrong time of the year to buy or sell a home. People are buying and selling their homes all through the year. As long as it is the right time to sell your home, it is the right time to put your house on the market. Call our professional team now to help you sell your home in Peterborough this summer.
