Property searches surge on Boxing Day

Get ahead of the new-year rush by being live on the market as buyers return after Christmas.

The festive break doesn’t mean a pause in the property market. In fact, the opposite is true: on 26^th December, we see a significant jump in people searching for and enquiring about homes to buy in Oxfordshire. That means if you’re planning to sell, you should list before Christmas in order to secure a sale in the New Year.

Why list now?

• Last year, the number of visits on Rightmove bounced by 87% between Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
• The volume of enquiries sent to agents was also up​ 20% on Boxing Day last year.
• If your property is live and ready you will benefit from this 'Boxing Day Bounce'.

What does this mean for you?
When your home is on the market in this moment of elevated buyer activity, you’ll be in a stronger position. More eyes, more enquiries, more possibility of favourable negotiations. Don’t miss the bounce by waiting until New Year to list your property for sale.
