Is Summer a Good Time to Sell my Home?

Absolutely, Summer is a Great Time to Sell and here is why

Real buyers want to buy and don’t stop looking at homes because the sun starts to shine. From the moment they get their mortgage approval or sale agree their home, they are on a time limit to buy. Mortgage approval is only granted for a specific time before it must be renewed or reapplied for and most buyers moving from one home to another will want to line up a purchase of a new home with the sale of their current home to move from one to another. This means buyers are motivated to skip the barbeque, forego the day at the beach and even sacrifice relaxing in the garden to continue their search and won’t stop until they have found their new home.

Longer days with bright evenings allows for more viewing time. This gives potential buyers more flexibility and can increase the number of buyers that view your home.

Your garden will never look better than it will in Summer time, private outdoor space is such a bonus for buyers and having potential buyers view your home on bright sunny days allows you to highlight this feature.

Take advantage of low stock levels. While potential sellers are using the summer to paint the garden fence, clear out the shed and pressure wash the drive buyers are not viewing their homes. This means less competition for you and can result in you achieving more for your property.
