Epsom Property Market Shines Bright: Seize the Summer Solstice Opportunity

Fri 21 Jun 2024

As the summer solstice approaches, marking the longest day of the year, we at Kaybridge Residential Estate Agents find ourselves reflecting on the significance of this seasonal milestone. This year, the northern hemisphere will celebrate the solstice on the 20th of June at precisely 21:51 BST. With 16 hours and 38 minutes of daylight, the solstice brings almost 9 hours more sunshine than the shortest day of the year—a perfect metaphor for the bright opportunities in the current property market.

The Market Heats Up with the Summer Sun

Just as the days have been lengthening, so too has the property market been gaining momentum. The summer period is traditionally the busiest time of year for buying and selling homes in Epsom, and this year is no exception. The extended daylight not only uplifts our spirits but also provides more hours for home viewings and open houses, making it an ideal time for sellers.

Faster Sales in a Flourishing Market

According to data from Dataloft by PriceHubble, Rightmove, and the MetOffice, the average time to sell a property has been steadily decreasing. In May, the average time to sell a home fell to just 60 days, a significant drop from the 78 days we saw in January. This marks the fourth consecutive month of declining sale times, underscoring a robust market where properties are in high demand and buyers are eager to move quickly.

Why Now is the Perfect Time to Sell

Several factors contribute to the current favorable conditions for sellers:

  1. Increased Daylight Hours: More daylight means more opportunities for potential buyers to view properties.
  2. High Buyer Demand: With the property market in full swing, there's a substantial number of active buyers looking to make a move.
  3. Shorter Selling Times: The decrease in average selling time indicates a competitive market where homes are selling faster.
