It's a common question at Monster Moves "When is the best time to sell my house?" And the answer might surprise you – there isn't one!

While there are certain seasons that traditionally see a surge in house sales, the Highlands of Scotland has its own unique rhythm. Our quietest months for inquiries are typically July and August, so if you're thinking of selling, don't let the seasons put you off!

Why Every Season Has Its Charm

  • Spring (March - May): The days are getting longer, the weather is improving, and people are starting to think about moving. This can be a great time to sell, especially if your property has outdoor space that can be showcased.
  • Summer (June - August): While enquiries might be quieter, summer can still be a great time to sell. The weather is ideal for viewings, and families might be looking to move before the new school year starts. Tourism is at it’s peak during these months which means more people passing your door, seeing your For Sale sign displayed.
  • Autumn (September - November): This is traditionally a peak season for house sales, as people are keen to settle into a new home before Christmas.
  • Winter (December - February): The festive season might seem like an odd time to sell, but it can actually be a good opportunity. Buyers might be looking for a new start in the new year, and there can be less competition from other sellers.

The Bottom Line

The best time to sell your house is when it's right for you. Don't let the traditional selling seasons dictate your decision. Our team at Monster Moves is here to help you navigate the market and find the perfect buyer, no matter what time of year it is.
