☀️ Selling During the Holidays
What to Expect
If your home is currently on the market, you may have noticed a slight dip in enquiries or viewings — and you’re not alone. The six-week school holidays often bring a natural pause in the property market, particularly in family-focused areas.
What’s Happening?
- Many buyers are away or juggling childcare, so property searches are put on hold.
- Viewings can be slower, especially during peak travel weeks.
- Agents, solicitors, and mortgage brokers may have reduced availability due to staff holidays.
What This Means for You
While things may feel quieter, this period is often a temporary lull — and there are still motivated buyers out there. Those who do view during this time tend to be more serious and ready to proceed.
Our Advice:
- Stay patient – this is a seasonal shift, not a reflection of your property.
- Make sure your home is summer-ready – gardens, windows, and natural light all help showcase your home at its best.
- Consider a refresh in your marketing – new photos, updated descriptions, or a small price adjustment (if appropriate) can spark renewed interest.
- Be ready for September – activity tends to bounce back quickly as families return from holidays and focus turns to moving before Christmas.
At Andrew Pearce, we continue to work proactively during the holidays — from managing enquiries and viewings to prepping for a strong post-summer push.
