Harcourts Cooper & Co’s Ilse Evans says, We have a had a great month, and Spring with all its glory is injecting positivity and energy into the property market. We are getting so busy with buyers hungrily engaging to buy property and owners looking to move, so watch this space in the next weeks as we have so much quality new stock coming to market.
“Owners who have wanted to secure a sale in the past year or so who found the selling conditions a little less exciting or profitable on their last round should seriously consider if this is the right time to act.”
The best time to sell a house is when buyer activity is buoyant and when there is a shortage of properties for sale, and as Ilse Evans says that is NOW! Often referred to as a seller’s market, it’s considered a good time to sell because more buyers are competing for fewer properties which leverages sale prices upwards. This is the prime position to be in as a home seller.
Despite Covid-19, people are continuing to buy houses for the usual reasons such as getting onto the property ladder, downsizing, up-sizing, upgrading, changing jobs to new locations, births, deaths, building new, cashing up investment properties, wanting a warmer home or being closer to family, especially since Covid-19. These can all influence the buyer market and therefore, opportunities for you as a home seller – depending on your choice of real estate agent.
So, in saying all this, in the month of August 2020 Harcourts Cooper & Co conducted 110 auctions of which 81 sold prior or on auction day, and 19 sold within 14 days post auction, 1 is currently under offer, and 9 still have Harcourts undivided selling attention or have been withdrawn – that’s a 91% success!
