A festive home looks and feels inviting so it’sa great opportunity to get some property photos and take viewings. People can visualise how they might live in the property at one of the most wonderful times of the year. 

You can use the colder weather as an opportunity to light your fire or wood burner (if you have one) and make the property extra cosy. 

Buyers that continue their property search over the festive period tend to be more motivated to move. Unmotivated buyers are less likely to view properties in the colder and wetter weather. 

Generally, there are less properties on the market over the festive period; these homes tend to be better quality as the market is less saturated. This means your agent will be able to give you and your property more time as they will be dealing with fewer Vendors. This extra time can be invested in pushing a wider range of marketing methods to ensure your property stands out.  

Selling over the festive period allows you to get one step ahead of the market. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that your property is sold so you can focus on finding your dream home in time for the Spring. 

The period between Boxing Day and New Year's Day sees the largest number of views on Rightmove so it’s a prime opportunity to get your home noticed. Book a valuation this December and get ready for the ‘Boxing Day Boom’.
