Is spring the best time to sell?

Spring is often touted as the ideal season for selling a property, but is it really the best time for you?

When it comes to selling your property, the right timing can make all the difference. At Ray White Lower North Shore Group, we’ve rounded up our experts from our four offices to provide their insights on the popular question: Is spring the best time to sell?

The appeal of spring

Spring has long been considered an ideal time to sell property. The warmer weather, longer days and blooming gardens can make homes look their best. Many buyers are also eager to move before the end of the year, making spring a busy season for the real estate market. However, the abundance of properties on the market can increase competition.

Strong performance before spring

Interestingly, our experts have noted that the period just before spring, particularly the third quarter, has shown strong sales performance in recent years. By listing your property before the spring rush, you may benefit from less competition and a more attentive buyer pool. Last year, August was our strongest month on record, proving that excellent results can be achieved outside the traditional spring peak.

Year-round opportunities

While spring offers many advantages, it’s important to recognise that other times of the year can also be favourable. Months like February, May and August have consistently shown strong sales performance. Market conditions and buyer demand can vary, so it’s crucial to consider your personal circumstances and goals.

Tailoring your timing

Ultimately, the best time to sell your property is when it aligns with your plans and needs. If you’re ready to sell, don’t wait for spring to make a move. Consult with our team to determine the optimal timing for your sale based on current market conditions and your specific situation.
