Get a head start on 2023 and prepare your home to sell before the new year bells.

ESPC’s recent poll shows that most people think that spring is the best time to move home. Getting your house on the market early gives you the best chance to secure a buyer and be ready for that all-important spring moving target.

If you are selling and buying, this will also put you in a strong buying position. Great news!

There are still lots of people actively searching for a new home just now with ESPC.

• The median time to sell over the last three months was just 16 days. You’ve still got a chance of getting that offer secured before the new year.
• Offers were still coming in high, with average percentage of Home Report valuation attained in sales over the last three months sitting at 106.9%. This is great evidence to show that buyers are keen to secure their next home.
• People are still actively hunting for their next home. Last month alone 660,000 property email alerts were sent, 21,000 Home Reports were downloaded, schedules were viewed 42,000 times and 7,000 viewing requests were made.

Capture an active audience  

Between Boxing Day and the start of the New Year, many people are actively setting their resolutions and ideas for the year ahead. This often involves their property dreams.

In the two week period following Christmas Day last year we had more than 575,000 sessions on espc.com – that’s a lot of property searches. Your home could be getting some great exposure at this time.

A great buyer position

Make the most of selling your property and get yourself in a strong buyer position. Many sellers look favourably on potential buyers who have sold (subject to the conclusion of missives).

Getting your property on the market now, when there are still lots of people looking to buy, could set you up for a strong position as a buyer yourself in the new year.
