How to prepare for a spring sale

27/05/2025

Spring is one of the most popular times of year to sell property in Australia. The weather is nicer, gardens look better and buyers tend to be more active. If you want to take advantage of the spring selling season, it pays to start preparing now.

Here are some smart steps to take in winter:

• Declutter and clean your home. A tidy space looks more inviting and helps buyers imagine themselves living there.
• Make minor repairs. Fixing small issues like dripping taps or chipped paint can make a big difference to your home’s presentation.
• Start speaking to agents. A good real estate agent can offer guidance on timing, pricing and presentation – even before you formally list your home.
• Talk to your mortgage broker. That way, you can secure the finance you need to purchase your next property, whether you want to buy before or after you sell.

By starting now, you’ll have everything in place to hit the ground running when spring arrives.
