The ‘Festive Surge’ in Home Searches
Every year, millions of potential buyers kickstart their search for a new home during the festive season, making Christmas one of the busiest times for home searches.
Visits to Rightmove, for example, nearly doubled between Christmas Day and Boxing Day last year, while enquiries to estate agents about homes for sale skyrocketed by an impressive 273% in just 24 hours.
Boxing Day itself saw 17% more buyer enquiries compared to the year before. By listing your home before Christmas, you can take advantage of this surge, ensuring your property is live when buyer demand is at its peak!
