Why September is a smart month to sell your home
As the summer holidays wind down and routines get back on track, September could be the perfect month to sell your home. While spring often steals the spotlight as the key selling season, savvy sellers know that autumn offers a golden window of opportunity. Here’s why listing your property in September could be your smartest move yet.
Motivated buyers
September buyers tend to be more focused and serious — often driven by life changes like job relocations, school catchments, or a desire to settle before the Christmas period. With fewer browsers and more committed house-hunters, your listing is more likely to attract meaningful offers.
Market momentum returns
Historically, September sees a rebound in house-price growth after the summer lull. National data often shows a lift in year-on-year price increases which means your home isn’t just more likely to sell — it’s more likely to sell well.
Viewings pick up
With schools back in session and holidays behind us, buyers are more available for viewings. Homes that are clean, well-staged, and easy to book tend to attract multiple offers quickly. A little decluttering and kerb appeal can go a long way.
Local advantage
While national trends show an annual uptake in September sales, local markets tell the real story. In some areas, autumn outpaces spring in terms of buyer activity and price growth. Check recent sales in your area or give Hallways a call to discuss your options — you might be surprised by how strong September really is.
Selling in September means stepping into a market that’s active but not overwhelming, with buyers who are ready to move and prices that often trend upward. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, this could be it. The team at Hallways can help you navigate the sales process from enquiry through to completion so give them a call today.
