Looking to Move Before Christmas?

Looking to Move Before Christmas? Now’s the time to make it happen!

Is a new home at the top of your Christmas Wishlist? While the festive season is not too far away, there may still be time to secure your perfect home and move in before the start of the new year. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or looking for a fresh start in a new area, now is the time to make your dream move happen. In fact, now could be the ideal time!

Here’s why acting now and capitalising on the post-summer property demand could see you settled into your dream home by Christmas.

Post-Summer Property Demand

After the summer holiday season, the property market traditionally experiences a surge in activity as people refocus on their moving plans. This period, from early autumn to late November, is a great time for buyers and sellers alike, with serious buyers looking to make quick decisions to settle into their new homes before the end of the festive season. As an independent estate agent, we’ve seen firsthand how motivated buyers are in this season—many of whom are determined to finalise deals before the end of the year.

If you’re thinking about moving, now is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of this increased demand. By working with our local experts, we can help you position your property to attract the right buyers quickly, ensuring that your move is as stress-free as possible.

Why the Pre-Christmas Market Works in Your Favour

• Serious Buyers: Those looking to move before Christmas are usually committed to making swift decisions, which means less time spent waiting for offers and negotiations.
• Fewer Competitors: Many homeowners may wait until the New Year to list their properties, reducing the competition during this period. This can provide your property more visibility and increase the likelihood of securing a good offer.
• Festive Appeal: Homes can look particularly inviting as we move into the winter months, with cosy interiors and seasonal decor helping buyers imagine spending time in their new home.
