Is Now a Good Time to Sell My Property? Here’s What to Consider

Is Now a Good Time to Sell My Property? Here’s What to Consider

Intro

Deciding to sell your property is a big step—and timing matters. With so much uncertainty in the market, many homeowners are asking the same question: “Is now a good time to sell my house?”

At Alx Gunn Interiors, we’ve worked closely with homeowners, developers, and estate agents across East Sussex, West Sussex, and Kent, helping prepare properties for sale through expert home staging, pre-sale renovations, and interior design services. Here’s what we recommend considering before you put your home on the market.

Watch the Market – But Don’t Let It Dictate Everything

While it’s smart to stay informed about the property market, remember that timing the market perfectly isn’t always possible. What is possible? Positioning your home in the best possible light to get a strong return—regardless of broader trends.

• Check local supply and demand: If there are fewer homes like yours on the market, you're in a strong position.

• Monitor mortgage interest rates: Lower rates = more motivated buyers.

• Look at seasonal patterns: Spring and early autumn are traditionally strong selling seasons.

  
  

Presentation Matters – A Lot

One of the most overlooked (and powerful) tools when selling a home is professional presentation. You wouldn’t sell a car with a flat tyre and a dented door—so why would you sell your most valuable asset without getting it sale-ready?

• Declutter and depersonalise

• Refresh interiors with light, neutral tones

• Invest in home staging to show the lifestyle, not just the layout

Our team at Alx Gunn Interiors specialises in creating emotional connection through space—so that buyers can instantly see themselves living there.

The Power of Home Staging & Design

A well-staged property:

• Attracts more online views and in-person viewings

• Commands higher offers

• Often sells faster

• Reduces buyer negotiation

From furniture and accessory rental to strategic design consultation, we tailor our home staging packages to fit every property, timeline, and budget.

When Selling Is Essential, Preparation Is Key

If you need to sell now—due to relocation, financial planning, or personal reasons—the best thing you can do is invest in preparing your home for sale. It’s not about spending more, it’s about spending wisely to get the best return.

Let us give your property a pre-sale MOT—highlighting the updates, staging, or simple styling tweaks that will make all the difference.
