It’s no surprise that better weather can make a property easier to sell. After all, sunny skies can enhance the appearance of your garden and fill your home with natural light – great for capturing viewers’ hearts. And nothing sets the scene like those warm, dusky evening shots you often see in brochures or online listings.
But are higher temperatures linked to stronger house prices? An analysis of Land Registry data conducted by Springbok Properties has found an answer – seasons really do influence how much you can achieve for your property.
If we look at the data, we see that prices dip during the coldest months (January and February), gradually ramping up as we approach July. Autumn then sees prices slide back down. Overall, values rise by around £2000 with each degree on the thermometer, falling by £2800 on average whenever the temperature dips by the same amount.
While social factors such as national holidays and psychological influences can explain many seasonal trends, hot weather correlates positively with better prices.
Therefore, the coming few months represent a fantastic opportunity for sellers. Book your valuation today by calling our friendly team on 01452 612020 to ensure you don’t miss out.
