Why is September a great time to move?

September often brings us those last glimpses of summer, and it’s not just the weather that’s bright – so is the UK property market. According to Rightmove, the number of sales agreed this summer was 15% higher than the same period last year, signaling a strong market.

Here’s why now is an ideal time to make your next move with David James Estate Agents.

Stable market conditions

The property market has regained stability, boosting confidence among buyers and sellers. Those who delayed selling until after the election are now active, leading to more homes on the market and stronger buyer interest. This means better options for you, whether you’re buying or selling.

Improved mortgage market

The mortgage landscape is also settling. While ultra-low rates are a thing of the past, today’s rates are competitive by historical standards. This is encouraging more people to proceed with their property plans, maintaining stable house prices and reducing delays in the moving process.

Perfect weather for moving

September offers ideal conditions for moving. The extended daylight and good weather make it easier to prepare your home for sale, view properties, and organise moving day. You could be settled into your new home just in time for winter, benefiting from a slightly quieter period for solicitors and removal services.

Christmas is just around the corner

As Christmas approaches, many people are eager to move into their new homes before the festive season. Starting the process now gives you a realistic chance of being in your new home for the holidays, adding extra motivation for both buyers and sellers.

The joy of a new home

There’s nothing quite like finding the perfect home. With a wide range of properties available, the satisfaction of discovering a home that suits your needs is immeasurable. Whether it’s more space, a beautiful garden, or a prime location, finding the right property can bring lasting happiness.
