Selling your home in winter has it’s perks.

Weather

Whilst the morning start on the weekend might be a little nippy due to the cold in winter, it’s a good time for getting out to look at potential homes for sale.  No chance of a tropical shower and you won’t have to worry about the afternoon heat (in fact you’ll look forward to it!).

Photography

Particularly in the western suburbs of Brisbane there are amazing photo opportunities with these gorgeous sunsets if it’s cloudy and crisp, clear blue skies during the day which make real estate photos look gorgeous.

Landscaping

It’s true lawns can look a little dry in winter so remember to get a some water on your lawns and hedges.  They will green up pretty quickly if you start a couple of weeks before selling time.

Less competition

Due to the popularity of selling in Spring and Summer, you are likely to face far less competition in these colder months.  The idea that you will do better in Spring when competition is at its peak is not necessarily true as any real estate agent will tell you.  When the right buyer meets the right home and the negotiation is handled expertly, you will get your best outcome in any season.  Real estate marketing is all about getting attention for your home and this can be achieved in any market with the right agent.
