If you are one of those homeowners that are thinking of selling your property in 2018 then Bond Residential has the following advice to help ensure you get moving early in 2018.
rrrSteve Wiggins, Director says “Many homeowners believe that it is best to commence marketing their home once the festive period is over and the Christmas decorations are coming down. However, Steve urges clients to actually think about getting their property on the market before Christmas to take advantage of the millions of people who search for property as soon as the last Christmas cracker has been pulled. In recent years statistics from Rightmove have shown that the busiest days of the year have been from Christmas Day onwards. In 2015 over a million-people visited the site on Christmas Day alone and millions more continued to search for homes from Boxing Day onwards. These statistics become even more exciting when you learn that nearly 3 million people visited Rightmove on the first working day of January. Therefore, clients waiting to market their home until January will actually miss out on these peak periods and will also be faced with more competition as more homeowners commence marketing their homes at what they believe to be the busier periods later in January".
Steve added “Given the time it takes an estate agent to prepare the marketing material for a property including taking photos, preparing floorplans and where appropriate commissioning an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) we advise our clients to actually start the process now so that they are ahead of the competition and ready to take advantage of these peak periods. In fact at Bond Residential we are able to prepare everything now and commence marketing the property on Christmas Eve when traditionally most of our competitors have already closed down for the Christmas festivities”.
