It depends on how quickly you need to move. There will always be people forced into buying a house at any time of year due to circumstances e.g. new job. However, most people who simply "want to move" will probably do so in spring, as it would complete in summer.
If you need to move quickly, you could try putting the house on the market to "test the market". If you don't get the offer you want, then take the house off the market and wait until the New Year.
Sometimes, its not the amount of buyers who make a difference - its having the RIGHT buyer, who will normally spring up anytime. |

The Spring is usually the best time to sell - at the moment people are getting geared up for Christmas. Come Spring people are thinking about decorating, moving etc. In my opinion you should put your house on the market but if you don't get the offer you are looking for take it back off and wait for the Spring. |

around april may june time that when most people sell their house. Sometimes houses are slightly cheaper because they are less of them out there at winter time, but you will get less for yours stick to spring summer. |

I would think around spring time would be a good time, certainly not coming up to Christmas, most people are thinking of other things :D |

The worst time to sell is around christmas. Think about it, would you want to upheave your whole life and move just before Christmas? And would you want to just after when you have spent all your money on presents? Best time to sell is early Summer as people want to move in during dry summer months and enjoy the weather in their new home, so I would put the house on the market in April/May. Good luck! |

Don't sell during cold months...it is going to take longer. People are more willing to go out when the weather is nice...so I would wait until Spring to sell. |

Don't sell at Christmas time as the last thing on peoples minds are buying houses. Do it as soon as possible or wait until after Christmas. |

October to January is a bad time to sell as people can't be doing with the hassle around xmas. Spring is best time to sell them as that is when people start thinking about it all again so you have the maximum length window before xmas comes around again. |

Another good time is during the latter part of the summer, as people are looking for new homes to move to while their children are out of school. |

Houses are cheaper around the winter holidays because that's when there are the fewest buyers looking. Fewer potential buyers generally means a lower price. The best times to sell are the spring and the summer. If I were you and you can afford to, I'd wait until spring and hope the housing market starts to rebound with the spring pick up. |

yep, around Easter time, so children are settled in the new areas for the new schoole year in Spetmeber. Most peole with children will tell you this is a major considerstion - bu a place in a good area, where the best schools are |

Spring for two main reasons.
1) everyone has been couped up in the house because nobody wants to shop for houses in rain and/or snow.
2) The number of spring weddings that occur in spring has steadily increased annually for nearly 30 years, and every new couple wants to buy a house.
Hope this helps, if you are preparing to sell, this will give you 5 months to have fully ready to put on market in late april. Good luck. |

Spring I would say, spend time between now and then 'house-doctorin' to improve chances of a sale at asking price when you list it (I'd say about late March). |

Go for the end of the financial year as this is when most people get a bonus and have extra cash to burn!!! |

If you're selling a house, wait 'till around end February/mid-March; Spring is always a good time to sell. |
