The days between Boxing Day and New Year’s see a spike in online house-hunting as people look ahead to new beginnings, making November a strategic month to list. A November listing gets your home showcased to these home browses, increasing the chance of finding a buyer faster and even fetching a stronger price due to heightened demand.
Maximise Winter Appeal
Listing your home pre-December allows for photos that highlight open, uncluttered spaces without seasonal decor, ensuring buyers can envision themselves in the home without distraction. Clear, naturally lit photos are especially important before the winter’s shorter, darker days set in, helping your home shine more vibrantly in online listings.
Beat the Christmas Slowdown
Mid-December brings a natural slowdown as solicitors, buyers, and surveyors take a break, making early November listings ideal for capturing motivated buyers before the Christmas pause. Properties listed by then are primed for Boxing Day interest, standing out in a less crowded market.
