When to list my house for a move in 2023?

When to list my house for a move in 2023?

This is the question we are asked most this time of year.



We realise vendors want to start putting up the Christmas decorations and are distracted by other engagements over the festive period.  

However we know the busiest time for people to begin their search is over the Christmas break. More specifically Boxing day which according to both Rightmove and our own website stats from 2022 was the highest day for visitors! The reason? People make decisions while they are off work, they visit family, they realise their house is too big/too small, they decide to be nearer family, want to travel more, the list is endless but ultimately people make that decision and start their journey. 

With this in mind we already have several vendors 'market ready' to go live boxing day - the photo's are all done (minus Christmas decorations!), descriptions written and they are sat back ready to go live Boxing Day looking to take advantage of all those buyers looking and hoping to be in a position early to start viewing new houses entering the market themselves. 

We have a team of valuers across our branch network ready to help get you Boxing Day ready! Contact our teams on the link below to arrange a free, no obligation market appraisal or if we have already been out contact our office to book in the photographs!

The rental market continues to shift, with new rules, rising rents and affordability pressures all shaping landlord decisions. July is a good time to review your property and your plans.

Buying a home can feel easier when you know your budget, priorities and next steps. With mortgage costs still influencing decisions, preparation is one of the biggest advantages buyers have.

Scrolling property portals is useful, but registering with an estate agency can give buyers a more personal, proactive search experience, especially when the right home is about to come to market.

It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.
