Can you sell your home in winter? Yes you can!

❄️

The standard response, when asked when is the best time of year to sell, is “sell in spring” and while there is some truth in the fact that warmer drier weather can help drive people to open homes, the fact is that life doesn’t stop over winter.

People still need to move for all the same reasons (new job, family reasons etc) and there are some strong positives about selling in winter.

The main benefit of selling in winter is there is less competition from other houses on the market. With a lot of people buying into “sell in spring”, there are fewer houses on the market and so it is easier to make your house stand out more.
