As the tinsel comes down and resolutions are made, many of us start thinking about fresh starts. For homeowners, this often includes considering a move. While some might think about listing their property on Boxing Day, we often find that the period immediately after New Year offers a unique set of advantages for vendors.

Boxing day traffic to portals are at their highest but generally not from serious buyers, they are mostly from browsers who love looking at properties but have no intention of moving anytime soon!

A Fresh Start for Buyers Too

Just like you, many potential buyers are feeling refreshed and motivated in January. They've had time to reflect on their housing needs over the holidays and are often eager to kick-start their property search. This means a surge in online activity and viewings, creating a vibrant market for your home.

Less Competition, More Attention

Unlike the busy spring market, early January often sees fewer properties listed. This means your home won't be competing with as many others, allowing it to stand out and capture more attention from serious buyers. It's a fantastic opportunity to be one of the first new listings of the year, making a strong impression.

Serious Buyers Are Out and About

Those browsing properties in early January are typically highly motivated. They're not just window shopping; they're often keen to make a move and are ready to commit. This can lead to quicker decisions and a smoother process for you.
