Selling Your Property? Here Are the Top 5 Questions You Need Answered

If you’re thinking of selling your property, it’s essential to have answers to the top five questions that property sellers frequently ask. Here’s what you need to know to sell your property effectively.

1. What is the best time of the year to sell a house?

While it’s possible to sell your home at any time of year, spring and summer are typically the best seasons to sell. The longer, brighter days and blooming gardens make your property more attractive to buyers. Most buyers aim to secure their new home before the holiday season, making it a great time to put your property on the market. However, if you’re selling during the winter months, you may face less competition.

2. How long does it take to sell a property?

The time it takes to sell your property depends on several factors, such as your property’s location, market conditions, and your auctioneer’s marketing and staging advice. Typically, a well-priced and well-presented property can sell within two to six weeks.

3. How much is my property worth?

The value of your property is determined by its condition and the level of demand for similar properties in the area. To determine its worth, look at comparable sales that are similar in size and condition. Don’t rely on properties currently on the market, as their final price may differ.

4. Should I carry out repairs before selling?

Most buyers prefer properties that require minimal work, so consider making minor repairs such as painting or changing flooring to make your property more appealing. If there are significant issues, such as old windows or a damaged roof, you can either carry out repairs or adjust the price accordingly.

5. What are my options if my house is not selling?

If your property isn’t attracting offers, it may be overpriced. Consider checking out comparable sales that have closed and adjust your price accordingly. You could also try a new marketing approach or switch to a different agent to help sell your property.
