Why Autumn is the Best Time to Sell Your Home in the West End
As the air turns colder and the leaves start to turn, the West End starts to shine in red and gold. Read on to find out why autumn is an ideal time to sell your home and why we believe that this season offers unique advantages to those looking to sell their home in the West End.
Motivated Buyers
One of the main reasons autumn is an excellent time to sell is the motivated buyers. As the bustling summer market winds down, serious buyers remain active, often aiming to make their purchase before the end of the year, eager to move in before Christmas.
Beautiful Scenery
The West End is renowned for its picturesque streets and beautiful green spaces, and these are especially breathtaking in autumn. Areas like Kelvingrove Park and the Botanic Gardens look stunning at this time of year, providing a perfect backdrop for showcasing your home. This aspect can really enhance the emotional appeal of your property too, making it more attractive to potential buyers who aspire to live in our area.
Market Performance and Trends
The Glasgow property market is looking promising for autumn 2024, and despite economic uncertainties, remains robust, with steady demand and rising prices.
As of mid-2024, the average property price in Glasgow has seen a notable increase. The current average listing price stands at approximately £230,916, reflecting a 5.32% rise over the past six months. This upward trend is expected to continue, driven by high demand and a relatively low supply of properties.
The number of viewings has increased by 10%, indicating strong buyer interest. Notably, around 35% of buyers in Scotland are purchasing properties without a mortgage, which suggests that a significant portion of the market is resilient to fluctuations in interest rates.
