Top tips for selling your Kerry property this summer

There is never a perfect time to sell, but if you follow the trends, it may be possible to time things just
right to make the most of the busiest market. This could mean that you get more interest, and you can
therefore maximise the sale price of your property. We are finding that all types of properties in Kerry
are selling really well presently but especially family sized homes.

So how can you predict the peaks and troughs in the market and use that prediction to your advantage?
We have these busy periods of life that take up a lot of our free time and mental head space.
So, when it comes to selling our home, we wait until these bigger, busier stages of life are out of the way
and dealt with.

Christmas. School holidays. And then back to school in September.
If you are considering selling your home before the end of this year, follow these tips!

Presentation – stage your home for summer. Flowers and gardens show off your home at this time of
year. Many happy memories are made through the summer months when you use the whole property
to its fullest. Longer days and warmer temperatures mean you enjoy the outside as much as the inside
of the home. BBQs, alfresco dining, gardening, playtime for the kids, water fights, and fun. Show it all off
with the staging of your property.

Timing – Timing is everything. Suppose many buyers are waiting for the school holidays to start before
beginning their search for a property. Viewing figures are higher when there is more free time, and the
weather is better. You need to be on the market When purchasers are available otherwise, you could
miss the boat.

You’ve gotta be in it to win it! – If you’re not on the market, you definitely won’t sell. If no one knows
that your home’s available, they won’t buy it. So, get into action and get your marketing materials
prepared. A good agent will want to prepare photography, video, and copy and create an excellent
marketing plan to sell your home. This takes time and shouldn’t be rushed. So, don’t leave it until the
middle of summer, thinking it will all be done in a day; it won’t. Have your valuations now and choose
your agent. This means they can get started on the marketing and build the hype with potential buyers
before you launch your property to the market. With the greater use of social media, the savvy agents
have your property listed as coming soon to whet the appetite of purchasers and maybe also prevent
them from going sale agreed on a property that might not tick all their boxes.

So, timed correctly, you could market your Kerry home during the summer and take advantage of the
busy summer months that would enable completion long before Christmas.

If you want to be enjoying Christmas in your dream home, you should be taking action RIGHT NOW.
