Are you considering selling your home and wondering how long it may take to find the right buyer?

 

The national average for a home on the market is 62 days, however certain areas around the country are a lot quicker! For example Scotland is the quickest moving market with the fastest being 16 days! 

 

Although St George, Bristol isn't the quickest we are in the top 10 outside of Scotland. With our average being 32 days to find the perfect buyer.

Due to the upcoming stamp duty changes in April 2025, more buyers are looking to purchase before the new thresholds come into place. This makes the ever more demand for properties over the festive period for it to find the perfect buyer and complete before the stamp duty changes. 

 

For example a first time buyer looking to purchase a property priced at £325,000 that will complete before March 31st 2025 will pay no stamp duty. However, if the property completed after April 1st 2025 the buyers would have to pay 5% on £25,000 (£1250). Although this may not seem like much, buying a first home can be costly and any penny saved is helped!

 

As the festive period is getting closer, more and more first time buyers are looking over the Christmas and New Years break, this makes it an ever more popular time to get your property listed and find your next home!
