Finding gold in autumn

There’s nothing like the golden leaves and autumn sunshine to make you fall in love with a home at first sight. Rachael Cone from Total Realty shares her insights on selling a home this season.

Selling a house in autumn has several advantages, making it an excellent time to consider putting your property on the market.

With clear skies and mild temperatures, the autumn season helps reduce the stress commonly associated with house-hunting and makes the process more enjoyable for both seller and buyer. Not too hot, not too cold, even moving day is likely to be easier and more enjoyable for everyone. 

Autumn is also considered a good time to sell because many families and first-home buyers are looking to be settled into their new home before winter, which can drive up demand for properties. Additionally, there are often fewer competing listings, meaning your home is more likely to receive the attention of buyers. This increased demand can result in a higher price for your home and a quicker sale. 

Then there is the charm of autumn. Personally, it’s my favourite season – the changing leaves, the crisp mornings and the crunch under your feet all come to mind. There is a serenity and beauty to autumn, making homes and gardens all the more appealing. Buyers can easily envisage a cosy night in when you display your home well in autumn.

March, April and May are considered strong months for house sales. The settled weather, the increased demand, less competition, and the charm of the season all help to increase the chances of a successful sale and achieve a good return on your investment.
