Selling your House in Leicester

Free Sales Valuation

Selling your house

You are thinking about your next home but the prospect of selling your house can often seem an overwhelming prospect and something that you cannot assure yourself will happen quickly. With the correct information, you can prepare and be in a good position to see your house fast. Open House Leicester can guide you and show you how.

We appreciate at Open House Leicester that often you think of selling and then go straight into the process but before you go headlong into it spend some time researching the housing market in your area. You will obviously increase your chances of selling your property quickly if you add it to the market when buyer demand is high. Think about the changes in demand at different times of year too and ensure you give yourself every opportunity to sell your home fast. If it is not the right time to sell and you have time on your hands you can always use this time to fix those little niggly things in your home that never get resolved.

Seasonal trends in the housing market

Spring

Usually a good time to sell

The housing market in Spring tends to be busy with potential buyers

Improving weather, light and possible sunshine will help mood and the look of your home

Spring blooms in the garden

Summer

People with children like to coincide a new home with the end of the academic year

School holidays can cause a delay with buyers with families

Try to get your home on the market as early as possible if you have to do it through the summer

Autumn

Usually a relatively good time to sell

The weather is still good and there are no major holidays to impinge on the transactions

Buyers and sellers don’t want to be in limbo over Christmas so try to get your home on the market as early as possible to avoid being in progress through this festive period.

Winter

This is considered to be a tougher time to sell

Potentially people may start looking once into the New Year and due to light and weather it is a good idea to try to make the most of any features that a winter friendly – wood burning stove, welcoming lighting, homely smells may help.

It is also always worth checking what is happening locally as well as nationally. Speak to your Local Authority to see if there are any developments in the planning in the areas. Look for plans that may boost the attractiveness of the area, boost house prices in the longer term or improve local amenities such as transport or schools. However, try to avoid selling your home during construction of these projects.
