Spring Market Ready To Bloom Melbourne´s property market looks poised to embrace the spring selling season with the REIV reporting an 82 per cent clearance rate for the 540 auctions held on the last weekend in winter. As buyer numbers continue to rise, spurred on by the historic low interest rates, more and more potential sellers are seizing the moment and readying their property for a spring sales campaign. Spring has long been a favourite selling time in Melbourne. The warmer weather helps enormously with presentation - gardens are often at their annual best, outdoor entertaining spaces are brimming with potential and the extra natural light enhances interiors. Preparing your property for sale still requires some work however. De-cluttering is your first priority to make sure every available space looks as inviting as possible. Buyers want to be able to picture themselves in your property so remove unnecessary furniture and any items that clutter available space. A spring clean from top to bottom is essential - clean windows let extra sunlight in; clean walls brighten a room and a tidy garden or back yard adds an outdoor dimension to your property´s potential in the eyes of buyers. To give your property an edge in what’s shaping up to be a busy spring market, call us today. Greg Hocking
