Why listing now will help you move in 2025

As the festive season approaches, you might think it's best to put your moving plans on hold until the New Year, but that could mean missing out on the perfect opportunity. At Beals, we believe there’s never been a better time to list your home and start your move than right now. 

Here’s why: 

Increased Buyer Activity 

According to Rightmove, Boxing Day consistently sees a significant surge in property searches as buyers get serious about finding their next home. With so many potential buyers browsing during the holidays, listing your home now means it’s primed to catch their attention when interest peaks. 

Less Competition 

While buyer activity soars on Boxing Day, the real flood of property valuations occurs just after the New Year, with the highest number of valuation requests expected on the 2nd and 3rd of January. By moving now, you can get ahead of the crowd, ensuring your home stands out in a less competitive market. Acting before the post-holiday rush puts you in a better position to secure a quicker sale and potentially higher offers. 

Start Fresh in 2025 

By listing your property now, you’re setting the stage for a fresh start in early 2025. Whether it’s more space for a growing family, a new location for work, time to downsize, or simply a new home for a new chapter, making your move now gives you the chance to enjoy your new home for 2025 and beyond. 

Strong Market Conditions 

The current market remains robust, with high demand for properties and stable mortgage rates providing an ideal environment for sellers. With buyer confidence returning and competition for quality homes increasing, there’s never been a better time to take advantage of these favourable conditions. Acting now allows you to lock in a sale while both demand and mortgage options remain strong, giving you greater flexibility as you plan your next move. 

Whatever your reason for moving, we’re here to help. With our expert knowledge of the local market, we can help you achieve the best possible price for your home.
