Beat the Spring rush Listing your property for sale before the end of Winter will ensure that your property will be one of the first properties seen by Spring buyers. Coming to the market earlier rather than later is always a positive move. Supply and demand has a great influence on your end sale price. If there are a large number of properties on the market at the one time, buyers have mowre choice and will negotiate harder. There are several other factors that will ensure you achieve a maximum sale price if you are looking to sell. Choosing the right agent with a proven track record of sales within the local area, along with premium marketing and timing of when you come to the market are all important factors to consider.
