Selling Your Property: The Right Way to Achieve Success

Selling Your Property: The Right Way to Achieve Success

When homeowners ask me how to sell their property, I make one fundamental assumption: they genuinely want to sell. This might sound obvious, but there’s a significant difference between putting a property on the market and being fully committed to securing a sale. If you truly want to sell, you need to be prepared to navigate the market, trust your estate agent implicitly, and follow professional guidance to achieve the best outcome in the current market conditions.

Understanding the Market Conditions

The market dictates your selling journey, not the other way around. The moment you decide to list your property determines the conditions you will face. While you can withdraw from the market and try again later, if you’re dedicated to selling now, this won’t bring you closer to your goal.

Right now, 2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for sellers. According to Rightmove, buyer demand has increased by 8% compared to this time last year, and the number of agreed sales has risen by 15%. Locally, in York and Tadcaster, we’re seeing heightened interest from buyers keen to secure a home before summer. The latest RightMove figures suggest the average time to find a buyer in York is 77 days, highlighting the importance of making the right decisions from day one.

Trust the Experts for a Smooth Sale

Selling a property can feel overwhelming. Market trends, pricing strategies, and buyer behaviour all play a role. However, when you’re paying for a professional, regulated, and experienced estate agent, the best thing you can do is trust them to guide you through the process.

At Wishart Estate Agents, our streamlined approach ensures you achieve the best possible outcome with minimal stress.
