After the lull of Christmas, January is one of the busiest times of year for property sales. Many buyers take the new year as an opportunity to look for a new home. If you want to get on top of the renewed buyer interest and get your home sold quickly, it’s vital that you list your property as early as you can in the new year to take advantage.

As the market shifts back into gear for the new year, you might be starting your search for a new home. One option to consider is purchasing a new build property.

While the property market tends to slow down in December, it picks right back up in January, one of the biggest selling months of the year.  This just means that you need to make sure that your property is in the best position to grab the attention of any potential buyers.
