Considering selling within the next 6 months? Here's what you need to know before you do...
Are you considering marketing your home for sale within the next 3-6 months? Here's some useful information that help you make your decision.
Curious about whether now is the right time to sell? You’re not alone. Plenty of homeowners are quietly considering their next move — perhaps before the year’s out — and the latest June data from Rightmove offers an encouraging signal: demand is strong, and buyer activity is at its highest since March 2022.
While headlines may talk about asking prices softening slightly, this isn’t the full picture. The real takeaway is that homes priced correctly and presented well are attracting serious interest fast. In fact, buyer demand is now 3% higher than this time last year, and sales agreed are up 6%. In simple terms: the market is active, and motivated buyers are out in force. If you’re planning a move in the next 3 to 6 months, now is the perfect window to get your home market-ready.
Small details — fresh paintwork, decluttering, and finishing those nearly-done DIY jobs — can make a world of difference. And presenting your home at its best doesn’t mean a full renovation; it’s about showcasing lifestyle, light, and space — something we know how to capture brilliantly.
At Harris + Wood, we work with sellers early in their journey. Whether you need a second opinion on what to fix (or what not to bother with), or you just want a realistic sense of what your home could achieve, we’re happy to guide you — with no pressure. Sometimes a quiet conversation today makes all the difference to a smooth move tomorrow.
For more information on getting market ready, you can send us an email at team@harrisandwood.co.uk and one of our team will be in touch.
