Looking at listing your property in Spring?
There are good reasons why agents choose this as the perfect time.
Across Australia, buyers have increasingly itchy feet and tingling bidding fingers! The motivation to make lifestyle decisions reaches its zenith in spring, traditionally acknowledged as the busiest and most robust season of the real estate sales year. If selling property is on the cards for you, procrastinate no longer! With interest rates at an all-time low, buyers are enjoying better access to funds at cheaper rates than ever before.
Confidence In Numbers
Naturally cautious, the Australian property investor moves with the herd. When buyers sense competition around a property, they better perceive its value and have the confidence to bid with gusto. In short, buyers desire a property more because others also want to purchase it. Should the same property have little interest at rainy winter open for inspections or a poor auction attendance on a blustery day, buyers may quibble at paying a premium price. Lesson: selling while there’s high buyer enthusiasm can lead to a better sales result for you.
Impressions Count
Gardens tend to look their best at this time of the year, a hint of the holiday season is in the sweet air, and buyers are making plans for their year to come. Those with the goal of upsizing, downsizing, or restructuring their investment portfolio by year’s end are ready to make decisions – so grab their attention by presenting your home at its best. Tidy the garden, freshen the paint and let that sunshine in. Spring shows off your home at its very best – not too hot, not too cold, just right! – and proves a perennially popular time to sell a property.
Like the season of spring itself, competitive buyer behaviour fades as swiftly as it appears. If selling is on your agenda, now is the perfect time to call us if you are keen to bring your property to market.
