There is no need to hibernate in the colder months
Autumn and winter can be fantastic times to put your property on the market. Many people think waiting for spring or summer is the right, and only time to launch a sale campaign. There's no doubt that when the sun is shining and the gardens are in full bloom, properties are more attractive to potential buyers. However, the colder months can often be where the opportunity lies for serious sellers. This is where you can receive some of the best results for your property.

So why is this? It's as simple as the age-old economics of supply and demand. When supply is low and demand is high, price increases. With interest rates remaining at an all-time low, there has been an influx of buyers into the market. These buyers will definitely be out and about searching for property and often don't want to wait around.
In autumn and winter, there is traditionally less property advertised for sale in Adelaide, and during this time we see open inspections in the marketplace reduce by an average 20%, meaning this actually becomes the perfect opportunity to ensure your home stands out from the crowd.
Getting your home ready for sale in the wintery months, may require a little more effort to make it as inviting as possible for buyers. It’s the little things like lighting fires in your home and increasing the amount of natural light into the home makes a big difference and is more attractive for buyers.
It's also important to ensure that you and your agent implement marketing strategies that are specifically designed for selling property in winter.
So, to all you serious sellers out there, now is the time to put your property on the market.
