Understanding The Real Estate Market
Before we dive into the details of when to sell your house, it’s important to understand the real estate market. The real estate market is cyclical and can be affected by various factors, including economic conditions, interest rates and consumer confidence. As a result, the market can be reactive, with prices rising and falling depending on various factors.
Seasonal Trends In The Real Estate Market
There are no hard and fast rules, particularly in Port Macquarie which traditionally enjoys a temperate climate year-round.
Some properties may have features that can be shown to their full advantage during a particular season, but by and large, buyers know what it is they want from their lifestyle and have determined their prerequisites and their wish list.
For homeowners who have the luxury of time to put their home on the market, they may wait until their garden is at its best, or the swimming pool looks more inviting, but a carefully orchestrated marketing campaign will present the property in its best light and highlight its attributes to potential buyers.
Economic Indicators
The state of the economy can have a significant impact on real estate, but may not have the same impact in one market as it does in another. There are may variables that influence market conditions, and it is their combination in a particular market that will impact of the sale price and days on market.
Interest Rates
Interest rates can also affect the real estate market. A consumer’s borrowing capacity and ability to service a loan can be impacted with inevitable flow on effects.
