Thinking of launching your property to the market in January?
Let The Norfolk Agents prep your property, so you can hit the market with a bang on Boxing Day! Get ready for an epic move in 2024.
If you are considering moving house, there is a strong chance that it is not a particularly urgent move, and you will push this to the AFTER Christmas category. This is a common thought, and many people planning a move in 2024 will be nodding their heads as they read this. Of course, you don't have time to have viewings when trying to peel potatoes and wrap presents. But, if lots of you are nodding whilst reading this, that means there may be lots of properties coming onto the market simultaneously in the new year.
Why would you want all of that competition for your house sale?
Bring the marketing of the property to the top of your festive to-do list. By getting your property valued before you prepare for Christmas, the agent can prepare everything in advance. If you don't mind delaying putting the tree and decorations up, have the photography and brochures done in readiness. Year after year, Rightmove report that the busiest day on their platform for traffic is Boxing Day. But if the new sellers come onto the market a few weeks into the new year, the boxing day viewers will not see many properties.
If you're planning on waiting until mid-January to put your property on the market, these buyers won't see your house. They might have booked their viewings for early in the New Year and made an offer on something else before you've got your photographs done.
But imagine for a moment that you were prepared ahead of time. You get on with your special Christmas festivities. You go to the nativity plays and the switching on of the town lights. Meanwhile, your agent is working away in the background. Before they close the office for Christmas, they will press the magic button and launch your property to the market, ready for those boxing day scrollers to see your property as a brand new listing.
Why not use the time before the Christmas break to get ahead so that you are ready to move and get the property on the market in January?
