Selling Your Home in January: Is It a Good Idea?

January is often overlooked when it comes to selling a home, but it can actually be a great time to move. With fewer properties on the market, your home faces less competition and has more chance to stand out.

Buyers searching in January are usually serious and motivated, often driven by job moves, family changes, or New Year plans. This can lead to quicker decisions and smoother sales. Online property searches are also strong at this time of year, with many buyers browsing listings during the winter evenings.

Presentation still matters in your marketing of your home. A warm, well-lit, tidy home helps buyers imagine themselves living there. Pricing realistically is also key, as January buyers tend to be well-informed and ready to act.

If you’re thinking of selling, January could offer the perfect opportunity for a fresh start and a successful sale. Please call my sales team on 0161 882 2233 to arrange a suitable time for Ryan, David or myself to run through the next steps.

We look forward to working with you.

Cheers
