Four Reasons to Sell During Spring

Still wondering if now is the best time to sell? Here are four reasons to spring clean your property and put it on the market.

Spring is in the air!

As the days get longer and our gardens flourish, many buyers are coming out of hibernation, looking for all types of homes. If you’re still considering whether to sell your property this Spring, here are four good reasons why.

1. More buyers out and about

Many buyers hold off looking for a home during the Winter months, leaving a large pool of potential purchasers when the weather gets warmer. An increased amount of buyers is good news for those who are selling, and could mean a higher price. For the buyers it means more choice.

2. Your home is presented at its best

There is no doubt that Spring is a beautiful time of year, especially on the Northern Beaches. This is an advantage when presenting your home for inspection, particularly if you have a garden, a pool or a nice view of the natural landscape.

Natural lighting also improves this time of year, as the days get longer, warmer and more pleasant. Be sure you have given your home the ultimate spring clean in order to show off your property at its best. Presentation is the ultimate introduction so every detail matters if you want to impress buyers with how appealing your place is during Spring.

If you have a garden, deck or balcony spring is often the best time of year to show off your outdoor spaces. They tend to be green, light, but not too hot or too cold – just right!

3. People like to settle into their new home before the Summer holidays

Selling a home can sometimes be complicated and stressful. Buying a home is hard too, so it is an advantage for both parties to get it out of the way before the chaos that comes with the end of the year, and the festivities of Summer.

The school holidays, annual leave, family occasions, Christmas and new years culminate into an exciting but very busy time, so it is a great idea to sell your home in Spring, so everyone can relax and enjoy the Summer.

4. Spring air is full of opportunity

There is something about Spring which seems to enchant us every year. As the cold, rainy days of Winter draw to an end, the wattle is in full bloom and the warmer temperatures draw us back to the beach, there is a general air of optimism and happiness. This makes Spring a great time to sell.
