The Holiday season has changed and become more and more popular as a time for house sales throughout the years. Who knew Santa could cram a three-bedroom end-terrace home through a chimney and place it beneath the tree?

A large number of purchasers will be looking for new houses this year in particular because of Christmas Lite (dull Covid) and the need to close deals before the March deadline for the stamp duty break. Therefore, if you decide to wait until the new year to sell your home, you risk missing out on the millions of potential buyers who are searching real estate websites at this time of year.

But which day is ideal for listing your house for sale, complete with expert images that make it appear spiffy for potential buyers? Boxing Day is the most popular day to market your house over the holiday season, therefore it turns out to be the sweet spot.

This is why

On Boxing Day, Rightmove and Zoopla saw record traffic.

On Boxing Day in the past, millions of individuals would visit the biggest property websites in the UK. Most people found themselves fidgeting and contemplating the next year after all the hoopla of the big day. As a consequence, between December 26 and New Year’s Eve, almost 30 million individuals search for a new house on Rightmove and Zoopla, with Boxing Day seeing the highest volume of searches.

On December 26 of last year, Rightmove reported a record amount of website traffic, while Zoopla also saw a high volume of people looking for properties. With Covid limitations in place, it seems that Christmas will see even more activity on the portals than in years past.

Traditionally, sellers would hold off on listing their homes until the new year. However, because of the shifting market, many people who are trying to sell their property risk missing out on crucial exposure to millions of buyers if they wait a few weeks to list their home.

Boxing Day is ideal for looking at properties.

Many of us spend Boxing Day stuck to the sofa, scrolling and clicking away on our phones, tablets, and laptops, whether it is because we have eaten too much turkey and can not move or because we are just plain bored after Christmas. It is the ideal time to think forward, and for many of us, it means choosing a new place to call home.

We start making plans for anything from downsizing to upsizing and pretty much everything in between, with our homes often taking precedence. As more individuals opt for places outside of cities with greater outdoor space, shifting mobility behaviors connected to Covid might further boost the market this year.

The majority of those searches will begin on December 26th, often known as the “Boxing Day Bounce.” And to give your home the greatest chance of selling fast, you will want to make sure you are following the trend.

Boxing Day is probably going to set records in 2022.

The Boxing Day Bounce caused residential sales to increase by 5.2% in January 2021 compared to the same month last year. As Covid limits drive us to spend more time inside using our cellphones, tablets, and laptops, the trend is expected to continue this year.

On Boxing Day, you should sell your home.

Without a question, the present market is a wonderful time to sell your house; activity was up even before the holiday season.
