Tips For Selling Your Home This Winter

As the winter approaches and the nation anticipates continued economic instability, many homeowners ask themselves “is now the right time to sell?”. Whilst some may be deliberating, others have committed to the process and want to know how to best navigate what can be an unpredictable journey at the best of times.

These are some tips for selling your home this winter.

Be well-informed and up-to-date. By being in touch with the current winter trends and market changes, you will be best placed to set a realistic and attainable plan for selling your home. Try to be objective when looking at what else is on the market and what else your potential buyer could buy, and focus on all the reasons why someone would choose your house. Consider what works for tomorrow’s buyer.

Don’t stop selling in December. Anyone who is looking now is serious. Perhaps avoid putting up Christmas decorations because even the most sophisticated ones can make a room look more cramped. They are inevitably personal, which you want to move away from when selling. Buyers need to be able to imagine themselves living in the house at any time of the year, not just during the festive season.

Choose your agents carefully. Get at least three agents in to give you a wide opinion on price. Do you like them and feel you can work with them? Are they just looking for instruction? Do they have the resources? Alternatively, if your property has been listed with the same agency for a while, maybe it is time to try elsewhere. A new perspective, vision and different marketing strategy for your property could be the answer.

Consider trying a different selling model. Consider selling it yourself or with a company like Purple Bricks, which has had a lot of success using a different selling model. Many others could also potentially help you save money as long as you are happy to invest the time yourself, such as showing potential buyers around. Always take your solicitor’s advice seriously and agree to upfront to try to stick to a realistic conveyancing timeline with them.
