Do you want to sell early next year? New statistics from Rightmove reveal how getting your property online before Christmas can dramatically impact how many potential buyers will see your property over the festive period.
Rightmove have released data that shows a dramatic increase in visitors to their site between Christmas and the New Year. As to be expected, page views were low on Christmas Day but Rightmove traffic increases daily until December 29.
As you can see, there is a quiet period around New Year’s Eve but then a serious ‘peak’ in property searches in the early days of the New Year.
Interestingly, this trend isn’t just seen on Rightmove, there is a similar pattern with analysis of other estate agent website visitors, where traffic practically doubles over Christmas and New Year, as can be seen above.
These trends most likely exist because after Christmas is done and dusted, moving house is the next big thing on people’s ‘to-do list’ and they’re ready to start making plans for the new year – but what does this mean for sellers?
It means if you’re looking to sell early in 2019, you need to ‘beat the Post-Christmas rush’ and get your property online to take advantage of the amount of potential buyers rushing to property portals and estate agents’ websites.
There’s no need to panic though, if you instruct us by the end of November, we can get it all sorted by Christmas – putting you in a great position for viewings in January.
We can make sure your property looks great online, with detailed descriptions and great photography that will stop buyers just ‘scrolling’ past your home. We are Towcester’s longest established estate agent and the only local member of the Guild of Property Professionals.
