What is it that makes Spring so appealing? Check out our top five reasons why selling in Spring is such an easy choice for so many.
Timing is everything
The year-end is getting much closer, which in turn means next year is just around the corner. Many people prefer to move before a new year starts and before the peak heat of summer. Moving and getting settled before kids start school is often a big deal for many buyers and the spring season is an ideal time to buy once you factor in time for settlement.
The weather is better
The days are longer, the sun is warmer. People are happier being out and about, exploring homes and finding the right area for them during these months. Additionally, for an agent, there is simply more light in the day to be making use of and showing home in all their natural glory.
The grass is greener
Literally. The Winter rain has let everything grow. Gardens, grass, trees and the like all look so fresh and lively right after the end of Winter. This street appeal can add huge sentimental value to a home and allow buyers to see the property in its best light.
Higher competition
There are more buyers in the market in these months looking to make their move. This increases competition in the market and can in turn deliver a better result for the client. This can also aid in reducing the time the property is on the market. Too short and you might miss out on buyers and too long and the property may become.
Selling and buying together
For most situations, when you are selling a home, you also need to be purchasing one. Timing your sale and purchase can be tricky but doing so in one of the most popular times of the year can mean you aren’t worried about figuring out where you are going to be moving to after settlement closes.
Right now, Perth is in an unusual real estate bubble right now. Economic conditions, some government stimulus policies, and interest rates are laying an ideal pathway for buyers to be making their move into the market. Despite these factors, there is one slight problem. WA is experiencing a lack of sales stock. We are seeing roughly a third less stock than the previous year. This means that a greater majority of those eager buyers at home opens are missing out on buying a home.
If you are considering making a move and selling your home, this may well be the most ideal time to take action to capitalise on competition in the market. Here are Realmark we work hard to ensure that we are generating interest in your property across the widest audience possible.
