Is April still a good time to sell your home?
The predicted spike in buyer demand is getting into full swing.
Spring has always been a great time to sell, as buyers look to settle into their new home in time for the summer.
According to recent data from a well-known property portal, valuation requests have shot up by 27% compared to the same period last year. While March lived up to its reputation as the strongest month for sales, April is a close second as buyers continue to compete for homes. *
If you’re hoping to sell, you may also be on the hunt for a new home. To land your dream home, it’s crucial to be able to make a serious offer. That means getting your property spruced up and ready for its time on the market.
Don’t forget that many buyers now prioritise outdoor space to enjoy in the warmer months, so if your home has got it, flaunt it!
Make sure you are prepared for your April sale by contacting our team of experts.
