Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes an excellent opportunity to move. Whether you’re looking to sell your current home or find your dream property, the market conditions this season offer some distinct advantages. From growing buyer demand to more properties hitting the market, here’s why now is a great time to make your move with David James.
Growing buyer interest
Buyer demand is picking up, and people are ready to act. With more buyers actively looking for homes, sellers are seeing quicker interest in their properties. If you’re looking to sell, this means you’re more likely to find a motivated buyer quickly. For buyers, acting now ensures you don’t miss out on homes before the market heats up even more.
More homes available
Finding the right home can be tough, but things are looking up. The number of new properties on the market is increasing, offering buyers a wider selection of homes to choose from. Sellers can benefit from this increased activity, knowing they’re tapping into a pool of serious buyers while there’s still manageable competition.
Attractive mortgage deals
With interest rates improving, now is a great time to secure a better mortgage deal. Lenders are offering competitive rates to encourage market movement, making it more affordable to buy. If you’re looking to remortgage, it’s an excellent opportunity to lock in a favourable rate before any potential changes later in the year.
Energy-efficient homes are in high demand
With energy costs still a concern for many buyers, energy-efficient homes are becoming even more desirable. Buyers are paying attention to Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and features like modern insulation, solar panels, and efficient heating systems. If you’re selling, small upgrades like adding smart thermostats or improving insulation could make your property more appealing and potentially increase its value.
Beat the spring rush
Spring is traditionally a busy time in the property market, with more buyers and sellers coming to the table. While this creates more opportunities, it also means more competition. By starting a little earlier, you can get ahead of the rush, securing a deal with less pressure. Those who act now may also find the transaction process moves quicker, avoiding potential delays as the season progresses.
If you’re considering a move this spring, now is the perfect time to get started.
