Why Christmas May Be the Best Time to Market Your Property

Wed 16 Dec 2015

Last year Rightmove had over a million visitors on Christmas Day – perhaps in part due to more people using mobile devices for their house-hunting (imagine the number of people multi-screening while watching the Queen’s speech).

It’s from Boxing Day onwards when things really start to get exciting, with millions of people coming to Rightmove to find their next home over the Christmas holiday period.

Once the New Year rolls around the traffic numbers make the case for making sure your property marketing is prepared before the start of 2016 -nearly 3 million people visited Rightmove on the first working day last January, starting a trend which saw sellers who choose a Rightmove agent benefiting from record-breaking traffic levels with over 110m visits for the month of January.

If you're thinking of selling your property

Remember that it takes some time for your estate agent to prepare the marketing of your property, including getting photos taken, floorplans prepared and Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s) commissioned. Start now and you’ll be ahead of the game, leaving your to focus on those New Year’s resolutions when January rolls around!
