3 Reasons now is a good time to sell

If you’re dreaming of a fresh start, there’s no time like the present to get your moving plans in action. It isn’t uncommon to put your move on the back burner until the Spring, but there are plenty of compelling reasons to move right now, for example:

 

The market is stable 
According to Zoopla, the market is currently characterised by stability. Looking at the year ahead, forecasts suggest a continuation of this stability with modest price growth anticipated. This outlook is reassuring for both buyers and sellers, providing a more predictable environment.



Buyer demand is healthy
The demand from buyers has shown robust growth over the past year, marking a substantial increase of 25% in sales agreed between October 2023 and October 2024.* This surge reflects strong confidence among prospective buyers, driven by more stable economic conditions.

 

Mortgage rates are improving
Since October, the housing market has benefited from the lowest mortgage rates observed in the past 15 months.* This significant drop in rates has sparked increased activity within the sales market, as more buyers are encouraged to enter the market.
