It’s Never Too Early to Get Your 2025 Home Sale Off to a Great Start

If you’re thinking about selling your home this year, even if you’re not planning to make the move for many months, it’s never too early to start making preparations. In fact it can yield rich rewards if you do.

In real estate it’s often said that the home we currently live in is not the same as the home we’ll sell. Essentially this means that, unless you live in an uncluttered environment with everything perfectly in place, there’s likely to be work to be done to make your home presentable to buyers, both internally and externally.

Most buyers struggle to see beyond the home that’s presented to them, so you need to factor this into your preparations. Depending on the extent to which you need to make changes, it does pay to get things under way as early as possible.

If you’re not planning a sale until much later in 2025, always bear in mind that market conditions can often change unpredictably and when least anticipated. If your preparations are well advanced then you’ll be able to respond immediately if, for example, mortgage rates begin to embark on an unpredicted rapid journey South. That will mean more buyers suddenly on the market. So why wait until conditions change again and you’ve missed the boat!

And, if you’re moving upscale or downsizing, or simply changing location, it makes sense to know exactly what your next home needs to look like and where. So it’s also never too early to start viewing and, as often happens, finding that perfect next home can accelerate your selling plans. It’s best to be as prepared as you can be.

The amount of work needed obviously varies according to individual circumstances and it’s never too early to contact us for the best advice in terms of developing the best preparation process designed to yield top dollar and to the timescale that suits you best.
