The Property Market Has Insomnia!

The floor to ceiling coverage of the General Election probably has you snoozing.

The seemingly never-ending story called Brexit – yawn – almost certainly has you reaching for the off switch.

And with Christmas starting to creep into our consciousness you may well feel in need of a long and undisturbed lie-down.

But allow us to shatter a sleep myth. Counting sheep doesn’t work!

Another myth is that the property market goes to sleep at this time of year, and then wakes up again in mid-January.

The truth is the property market locally has insomnia.

Yes, it certainly calms down in the run-up to an election or Christmas, but good estate agents understand it never enters the realm of deep sleep if you know what you’re doing.

That’s because serious buyers are always out there and many want to be in their new homes in early 2020 so guess what?  They are searching with real intent right now.  That’s right, the serious buyers are looking now.

This means putting your property on the market in November and December gives you a great chance of getting in front of these wide-awake, serious about moving, potential buyers.

There’s always a section of buyers who must move regardless of elections, political uncertainty or looming festive periods and seasonal shutdowns. And our database has plenty of them poised to leap out of bed should the right home become available.

Getting your property on the market now could prove to be your best decision of 2019 and could set up your 2020 to an epic start.

Not sure what to do?  Being kept awake at night with the indecision?  Book an appointment with us by calling 01737 887 674 and we will pop out to help you formulate a plan and in the meantime, get some shuteye using these handy top tips:

1. Have a regular bedtime and getting up time. (Easier said than done if you have small children).
2. Switch your phone off at 8pm, swap your tablet / iPad for a book and let your brain and body unwind.
3. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and strenuous exercise before hitting the hay as these all stimulate parts of the mind and body that make drifting off into deep sleep much harder to achieve.
