Spring is in the air, and so is opportunity for Prime Central London sellers! As the days get longer and the first signs of spring emerge, the London property market is also beginning to bloom. New data from Rightmove confirms what we’ve long known: February and March are the best months to list your property for sale if you want to maximise your chances of a successful and speedy transaction.
The London Property Market Data Speaks for Itself
Rightmove’s latest analysis of millions of listings from 2012 to 2024 (excluding the anomaly of 2020) reveals some compelling trends:
- Highest Completion Rate: Two-thirds (66.3%) of homes listed in February or March go on to complete a sale – the highest proportion of any month.
- Quickest Time to Find a Buyer: February and January share the quickest time to find a buyer, averaging just 51 days, with March and April close behind at 52 days.
- Strong Start to 2025: Rightmove is reporting an “encouraging” start to 2025, with buyer enquiries up 8% in January compared to last year, and sales agreed up 15%.
Why February & March?
So, what makes February and March so conducive to successful sales?
- Fresh Start Sentiment: After the holiday season, buyers and sellers alike are often motivated to make fresh starts and pursue new goals.
- Spring Fever: The arrival of spring brings warmer weather, longer days, and a renewed sense of optimism, making people more inclined to consider a move.
- Ahead of the Competition: Listing your property now allows you to get ahead of the competition, before the market becomes saturated with new listings in the later spring months.
