Sales blossom in spring.
In the past five years (excluding 2020 due to Covid), springtime bloomed with 27% of home sales. This is the highest proportion of any of the four seasons.
During spring, properties found new owners in an average of just 51 days. This is significantly quicker the 61-day winter average.
Spring has long been acknowledged as the best time to sell. Flowers blossom and bloom, the sun comes out and gardens springing back to life. With buyer demand levels currently 7% higher than last year, now is a great time to get your property on the market.

What do Jukes Estate Agents Harlow think?
Sales blossom in spring.
Jukes estate Agents Harlow (https://jukesestates.co.uk//new/public_html/), as always, have a take on this.
Co owner Lee Venables takes up the story. “It has been common knowledge that spring sees the greatest amount of property sales”. “We see this is every Harlow postcode sector. Spring sees more sales in CM17, CM18, CM19 & CM20 as perhaps you would expect”. “What is perhaps surprising to some, is not that spring has the most but that it isn’t that much busier than the other seasons”. “This actually shows that is does not matter what time of year you list a property”. “Winter listings might take 10 days longer on average to sell, but price it right and it WILL sell”!
