Thinking about selling your home? Summer could be the perfect season to make your move. At Mather Estates, we’ve helped countless Stevenage homeowners sell successfully throughout the year, and summer consistently stands out for a number of reasons. From brighter days to eager buyers, here’s why listing your home during the summer months could work in your favour.
1. Longer Days, More Viewings
Summer brings longer daylight hours, giving potential buyers more flexibility to view properties after work or school. Natural light also enhances the look and feel of your home, making rooms feel brighter, warmer, and more welcoming. With more time in the day, we can also schedule more viewings to fit around busy schedules – helping you reach a wider pool of buyers.
2. Stronger Kerb Appeal
Your home’s exterior has a big impact on first impressions – and summer is when kerb appeal truly shines. Gardens are in full bloom, lawns are greener, and the sunshine helps everything look its best. A tidy garden, a freshly painted front door, and a welcoming outdoor space can really help your home stand out.
3. Motivated Buyers
Summer tends to attract motivated buyers who are keen to complete before the school holidays or ahead of the new academic year. Families, in particular, often plan their moves to avoid disrupting the school term. This sense of urgency can mean quicker decisions and smoother sales.
4. Stevenage is Buzzing
From the beautiful Fairlands Valley Park to our lively High Street markets, Stevenage really comes alive in summer. Buyers are more likely to fall in love with the lifestyle here when they can see it in full swing- whether it’s kids playing in the parks, outdoor events at the Town Centre Gardens, or just the general hustle and bustle of our vibrant community.
5. The Market is Active
Summer is traditionally one of the busiest times in the property market. More homes may be listed, but that also means more people are out actively looking. With the right pricing and presentation, your home can stand out and attract serious attention.
