When it comes to selling your home, many people start with the date they want to be moved out by and then calculate back from there.  There is a great variance around the country when it comes to average length of time a home is on the market, and of course, each home should be judged on its own merits, but it is not out of the question to suggest that selling your home can take around two to three months.

As we move towards August, it is obvious that if you are looking to have your house sold and then be settled into a new property by Christmas, you don’t want to leave it much longer to start he selling process. If everything ran smoothly, you could probably place your home on the market in October and have matters concluded in time for Father Christmas, but most people prefer to leave some leeway when it comes to property transactions.

Summer time is an appropriate time to consider selling your home

At Deakin White, we are pleased to say that we have helped many people sell their home and if you have a deadline in mind, we will do our best to meet this deadline. The sun may be shining, and memories of the World Cup are still fresh in our minds but if you are determined to sell your home in time to be settled for the festivities, this is the ideal time of year to start taking things seriously.

As we are in the middle of the summer, it may take a while to start the process. Many professionals are on holiday and you may not get the immediate support you are looking for. We are here all year round, so you can rely on us to assist you at any time of year but placing your home on the market requires the work of many professionals, and this can cause delays.

Make your home attractive to the right buyer
