Winter is a great time to sell your home! Despite its reputation for being a quiet season for selling, there are immense benefits to listing your property in the cooler months.

There’s less competition with fewer listings. Data released by The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand showed the correlation between lower listing numbers and higher average views on listings. The number of buyers searching online remains steady year-round. That means the same number of buyers are looking in winter, just with less inventory to view.

Don't wait until Spring when an influx of properties hits the market. Contact us today to arrange a property appraisal and get your house listed now while capitalising on less competition! 021796033
