Four reasons to get your home ready to sell before January

We're sharing our top reasons to prepare your home for property market now, before you move into your dream Anwyl home in 2023 If you are dreaming of purchasing your new Anwyl home in 2023, don’t wait until January to start the process of getting your property on the market. With property websites often reporting an increase in people browsing houses during the post-Christmas Day period, beat the boom and be one of the first to have your home seen by buyers. Be picture perfect before you deck the halls Whilst twinkling lights and presents under the tree may look lovely in your property photographs, seeing Christmas decorations when trying to sell your home in January can quickly make your pictures look outdated. By having a professional photographer take photos of your home before you add any seasonal sparkle, you will ensure that whenever your property hits the market, it’s looking its very best. Prepare for the boom in demand Boxing Day is notoriously the busiest day of the year for buyers browsing property websites, with the increase in traffic often continuing into January. These eagle-eyed buyers are often keen to make the move early in the year, so it’s a valuable time to have your home seen and to line up viewings. If you are serious about selling, make sure your property ready to go before the big day arrives. Be better positioned to buy Having your home on the market during the end-of-year boom — or even sooner if you’re extra organised — puts you in a position of potentially selling sooner. This means you have more freedom about choosing which Anwyl home is the one for you, with your timescales and financial situation often secured. Once you’ve reserved, you will be well on the way to getting the keys to your forever home. Free up your time for festivities Nobody wants to spend Christmas thinking about finishing off DIY and worrying about having their house valued! Doing your property admin before Christmas means more time for mulled wine and mince pies. Plus, you don’t have to put your house on the market straight away — let your estate agent prepare your marketing now, and list it when you are ready. Need help selling your home?
