Selling your house in the spring? Always a good idea!

As experienced estate agents, we know that selling your house in the spring is the best time! Why? Spring gives everyone more energy to brighten up their homes or just start looking for a new home. The days are getting longer... and nature is in full bloom, which can only benefit your house and garden!

During the Christmas period, people are less likely to look for a new home or put their house up for sale. They are too busy with family celebrations and have already spent a lot of money on gifts. It is also dark and gloomy. In the middle of the summer, many people are travelling again, so this is not the ideal period either. Families looking for a house prefer to sign the sales agreement in the spring so that they can move in before September and be ready for the new school year!

A study has also shown that homes put up for sale between mid-March and mid-April sell about 15% faster than homes at any other time. They also got a higher price because more people came to look than on average in other periods.  

Has your house been on the market for a while but has there been little response? Take it down and make it springtime-proof before putting it back up. If necessary, use a different photo as the opening photo. The days on the market (DOM) are important for homebuyers, because buyers are attracted to new offers.

Here are 5 tips to make your house springtime proof!

• Wash your windows
• Tidy up your garden and cut the grass.
• Buy beautiful flowers for the garden. Yellow Easter flowers give an instant feeling of happiness.
• Open the windows and let in the fresh air
• Put away all the winter decorations and replace them with fresh accessories
