Then don’t miss this key selling date

If you are looking to sell your home before Christmas, then Thursday 23 rd October could be a key selling date according to new analysis from The Home Owners Alliance.

The cut-off point is the 3rd week of October

Using data from their Best Estate Agent Finder tool, the Alliance found that it currently takes an average of 58 days to sell a home (although recently David Phillip Estate Agents have sold on Sandy Walk and Parklands in Bramhope in just over a week!), which means that the cut-off point for completion is around the third week of October.

Leeds' average sale is 52 days

However, the time to sell can vary widely by regio,n ranging from 32 to 71 days – this highlights the need for local market awareness and early action with your Estate Agent. Leeds currently has an average time of 52 days to sell a property.

Paula Higgins, Chief Executive of The Home Owner’s Alliance (HOA) said “with leaves falling and Christmas ads already creeping onto our screens, it may feel early to mention the big day – but if moving home is on your wish list, the clock is ticking. The last day to list your property to be in with a chance of an agreed sale before Christmas is 23rd October.
