The property market remains extremely competitive and the shortage of homes available means there are multiple buyers for each property. Sellers are far more likely to choose buyers that already have a sale agreed on their own property. So, why should you list your property now? Don’t miss out on your dream property If you’re debating moving and have seen a property that seems perfect, it’s very likely there is another buyer who has also seen this property. If they’re in a position to move forward with the sale whilst you haven’t even listed your house yet, it’s a no brainer who the sellers will favour. Achieve the price you want for your property Tim Pepper, Director of CJ Hole, explains: “When the right property does become available, the clients that have not got prepared for marketing are often the clients that end up offering a very generous price trying to secure the house of their dreams – and then end up rushing into preparing their property as they don’t have time on their hands. By listing your property early, you are in a position to wait for the offer and the buyers you want. – putting you in control. Know your budget Selling your property first means you will have an accurate budget for what you can afford next. This could change the type of property you are able to search for. Top Tips: - Get as much organised beforehand as possible, such as getting your mortgage pre-approved so you can buy quickly. This will make you even more attractive to a seller. - Research before you sell, decide where you would like to buy and the type of property you’re after. - When you’re ready to sell, decide the price you want to sell for and know how much (if any) below you’re asking price you’re willing to accept.
