It’s common for homeowners to wait until spring to put their property on the market, believing it’s the ideal time for a sale. However, this approach often misses out on a prime opportunity. Many buyers make the decision to move over the Christmas period, and their property searches ramp up as soon as January begins.

At Fisher and Partners, we frequently advise our clients to list their homes early in the New Year. This period typically sees low stock levels, meaning fewer properties are available, while buyer activity tends to peak. By launching your property during this window, you can get ahead of the competition, capture the attention of motivated buyers, and create a smoother, less pressured sales process.

The results speak for themselves. In just the first week and a half of January, across Fisher and Partners, we’ve seen offers worth over £10 million combined. Buyer activity has surged, and those clients who followed our advice are reaping the benefits of early market exposure, staying ahead of the competition.

If you’re considering selling your home, now is the time to act. Be proactive, take advantage of this seasonal uptick in activity, and give yourself the best chance of a successful sale.

If you’re looking to sell your property, we’d be delighted to provide a free market appraisal. Contact your local managing partner to arrange a time to chat. We look forward to hearing from you.
