Many people believe spring is the best time to sell a property; gardens are looking great and buyers are often keen to get the property purchased quickly so they can be moved in and settled in time for Christmas.

And never underestimate the general feel-good factor of moving from chilly winter months into lighter nights, warmer days, and the thought of summer being just round the corner. We often see an increase in activity in the spring months.

But the downside is, because it’s the traditionally seen as the best time to sell, there are more properties on the market, and this can increase competition.

So, what about autumn?

In autumn, weather is still generally good, the garden is still looking presentable, and while the sun is dropping a bit lower in the sky, the plus is you may get more sunlight into your property, and your property is being viewed in literally a better light.

If you’re looking at what else is going on in this season, the rush of managing Christmas is over, people are back from their summer holidays and the kids are back at school. This means there aren’t other priorities competing for people’s time, and now they can get on with achieving some of the goals they’ve set for the year.

Need some more reasons to sell now?

If you’re thinking about selling, but need a bit more information to convince you, well right now, there actually has never been a better time to sell.

According to the latest data from property industry data analysist CoreLogic, Australian housing values have reached a new record high as values continue to rise across every broad region of the country. What’s more, the Newcastle/Lake Macquarie area has seen an overall growth of 10 per cent last year.

Confidence in the market is good; interest rates are at record still lows, there are lots of government incentives for first time buyers and the economy is picking up.
