The time has come around again to the New Year – where people make resolutions of all kinds to improve their lifestyle.
A New Year can often kickstart people’s desire to move or improve their home. Some may be looking to alter their layout and update their décor, whilst others may be thinking about a complete change by moving house.
There are many advantages to selling at the beginning of a new year, so here is a list of reasons for moving.
Your children may be approaching the age of starting school in the next few years, so you will most likely be thinking about which school you want to send them to. With time on your side in this scenario, it’s a perfect opportunity to market your home and look at moving to the catchment areas for the top-performing schools. Starting this process early will also allow your family to settle into your new home and area before school starts!
Just after Christmas is usually a quiet period in terms of the stock levels in the housing sector. In this current market, there is still a huge demand for buyers but a lack of supply. Putting your house on the market could attract more interest and therefore offer the possibility of achieving a higher price.
With the market operating on high demand, it is important that when you want to move that you are in the best buying position you can be. To increase your chances of securing your next home amongst a pool of other eager buyers, place your home on the market to enable you to agree a sale and become a more favourable buyer to sellers.
