Take advantage of the Boxing Day Bounce!

Get in touch

Did you know that traffic and enquiries from buyers on the portals such as Rightmove increased by 273% on Boxing Day last year? This isn’t just a fluke; it’s a consistent trend that savvy homeowners take full advantage of each year.

This is backed up by our own data, which shows that our property listings consistently receive a higher number of views throughout the holiday period. In fact, we have previously secured buyers for 90% of the properties we launched on Boxing Day within the first three weeks of marketing. That’s a remarkable statistic, and it highlights just how critical timing can be in the property market.

But what drives this surge in interest?

As well as being a time of celebration, Christmas is a time of reflection; one when many people make major life decisions. For some, it might be the realisation that they’ve outgrown their current space; for others, it could be the desire to relocate closer to family, friends, or a dream location. This surge of motivation leads to a dramatic spike in online property searches and enquiries starting from Boxing Day and continuing into the new year.

This is where strategic sellers shine. They prepare their homes in advance and launch their property at the perfect time to capture the wave of buyer interest before the market becomes crowded with new listings in January.

To make the most of this seasonal opportunity, it’s crucial to work with an agent who understands the market dynamics and has a proven track record of success. That’s us!

So now is the time to consider bringing Duncan Yeardley on board. We are one of the few agents who choose to open over the festive period in order to make the most of the significant increase in enquiries from people looking to move home.

Please do book a valuation or get in touch to discuss how we can capitalise on the increase in activity and make it work for you!
