1. Timing
It’s all about timing. If you have a great property, and you list it in December - you may struggle. Best times for selling properties vary from town to town, but in general a good guide is to look at the start of April. You can do some research and talk to local estate agents, but we’ve found that in general april through summer is the best time, as most people want to move in good weather. It’s when properties look the best too. Aim for this time and you’ll hit the ground running.
2. Get Ready for the Sale

3. Do Your Research
When selling your home, and advertising it online, it’s advisable to do a little research onto your local market. What are people looking for? How long are houses taking to sell? What’s the average age of the buyer in your area? It’s good to know these things, so you can tailor your sales pitch to the right audience. Is there a young average for buyers in your neighbourhood? You can probably play down the advantage of having only one floor. Is it an older average age group looking for retirement in your area? The football pitch out the back may not be relevant.
4. Careful With Your Price
Wanting to sell your house quickly? Overpricing your property will seriously stall the speed of your sale. They say knowledge is power - well it certainly is when you know your local property market. Talking to friends and neighbours who have recently sold a property, is a valuable source of information. Everyone knows someone who has recently sold a property. Talk to local estate agents and realtors, and look at listings online to see what is selling.
5. Home Inspections / Evaluations

Most buyers will want to get there own valuations, but you should get your own first - that way you’ll avoid any unpleasant surprises and can fix any issues that may arise before you put your property on the market.
