Top Tips for Navigating Glasgow’s Summer Property Market
With Walker Wylie Estate Agents
As the sun (hopefully!) starts to shine on Glasgow’s lively West End, the property market begins to get busy. Whether you are buying or selling, we’ve put together some top tips to make sure you are ready to make the most of the warmer months and upturn in the market.
Buyers
Get Started Early: Summer generally means increased competition in the property market, so we recommend you start your search as soon as possible. Being proactive means you will have the edge. Working with us means you’ll know when the best properties that suit your needs hit the market.
Know What You Want: Before you dive in, be clear about what you’re looking for in a home. Consider factors like location, size, features and of course budget. Having a clear picture of your priorities will help you focus your search and make decisions more easily when you find the right property.
Get Pre-Approval: Make sure your mortgage is sorted – it shows sellers you’re serious and ready to make a move. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage not only demonstrates your financial readiness but also gives you a better idea of your budget and what you can afford, streamlining the buying process. We provide a mortgage service at Walker Wylie, meaning we can take care of this, and your search for you.
Sellers
Spruce Up the Front: First impressions matter, so make your property looks its best with a tidy exterior. A fresh coat of paint, a well-maintained garden, and some curb appeal can make a big difference in attracting potential buyers.
Highlight Outdoor Spaces: Outdoor living spaces become a major selling point at this time of year. If you have a garden, patio, or balcony, showcase these areas to potential buyers. Staging them with furniture or decorations will help buyers see themselves enjoying the space during the summer months.
Price It Right: We offer you a free market appraisal allowing you to find out the value of your home with no obligation. Our local knowledge and experience in Glasgow property, as well as our instinct and skill, allows us to accurately value your property and ensure your sale gets off to the best start.
With interest rates remaining stable, demand is expected to contribute to a competitive market throughout the coming months, with properties selling quickly. If you’re ready to make a move, get in touch with us on 0141 404 1333 or email us at info@walkerwylie.co.uk, we would love to hear from you!
