Autumn isn’t always touted as the best time to sell property in Adelaide...
Spring tends to win that title, with summer also regarded as a busy season for Adelaide real estate agents. Yet there are many reasons autumn attracts buyers and sellers to the Adelaide real estate market with excellent outcomes for both.
Less Competition
With less homes on the market in autumn, vendors who choose to sell property in Adelaide during the autumn months can benefit from the fact that there are less options available to buyers.
Conversely, buyers may also find the less-hectic autumn season allows them more time to fully explore the homes for sale in the Adelaide property market without the pressure of other buyers to compete with.
Motivated Buyers
Selling real estate in Adelaide during autumn puts properties on the radar of serious buyers. These buyers may be more motivated to buy and sell before winter, or they may have already sold their home during the busier spring or summer months and be very ready to buy by now.
Consistent Weather
When showing buyers through a property during private or open inspections, sellers need to present their home in the best possible way. The volatility of changeable spring weather may see your open inspections held during extreme heat, wet weather or on very windy days, when your Adelaide property may not look its very best.
During summer a property inspection held on a day of extreme heat may also see less buyers attend the open inspection and highlight any flaws in the property’s cooling systems to those buyers who do show up.
Good Light
Sunny autumn days bring with them a softer light than the harsh sunlight we get in mid summer. Adelaide homes listed for sale may capture eye-catching autumnal hues in the marketing, while properties in leafy locations can be open-house shown against a glorious backdrop of golden autumn colours.
Committed Buyers
During the summer months Adelaide home buyers can be distracted by holiday disruptions and social engagements. They may be away for several weeks or take a break from house-hunting while they have social priorities.
By autumn people in Adelaide are usually back into their routines and find it easier to find the time to diarise attendance at open house inspections.
