Timing can be a crucial factor in the success of selling your property. The season at which you decide to place your home or investment up for sale can influence not only your asking price, but how long it takes for a buyer to make a winning offer.
In this article, the Noel Jones team have compiled some points on the most successful seasons to sell a property in Melbourne.
Autumn is often seen as one of the best times of year to sell your property in Melbourne and wider Australia.

It can also be a great time to sell with the Christmas and New Years holidays coming over the horizon causing a sense of urgency amongst buyers to buy before people take time off over the Christmas break.
Selling your home is a big decision, and there are more factors to consider outside of the time of year, including:
