List in January! January is always a time where there is an influx of vendors coming to market and this has been reflected this year. Where there is currently a shortage of stock, you may find that by having your property on the market when there is more available you will have more to choose from as a buyer. This will then make your move a lot quicker as a whole. While some homeowners do not want to sell before buying, in the current market it is almost a must. When a vendor has two offers on their property, one being someone under offer and you who is not, could put them off choosing you. By being under offer you are seen as proceedable and will help the sale go through quicker.
Tim Bannister (Rightmove’s Director of Property Data) suggests "Almost 40% of people enquiring about a home who have a property to sell say that they are yet to put it on the market. In the current market, where they are competing against other buyers who are able to move more quickly, this is likely to mean they’ll miss out on the home they want."A 'Power Buyer' is someone who is in a proceedable position. For example, they will have their finances in place and if they have a property to sell, that this is already under offer.
