List your home now and revel into the New Year!

 Why selling your home at Christmas time has advantages.

It’s no secret that the Hobart property market is experiencing an all-time high right now! With the countdown to Christmas well and truly in full swing, many will succumb to the widespread apathy that can take over at this time of year. “Oh, it’s too close to Christmas now, I’ll leave it to the new year” is an all too common phrase.
This Christmas is one where those who buck the trend will revel well into the new year celebrating the outcome of the sale of their home. 

Here are 7 reasons why listing your Hobart home this Christmas makes sense! 

1.     Supply and demand The number of buyers searching for their new home outstrips the number of houses for sale. Time and time again people are missing out on properties. At this time of year, when there are less properties listed, in an already strained buyers’ market, the moment there is a sniff of a property coming on the market, there will be buyers lining up to view the property.
2.      Holiday makers wanting to stay There are more visitors to the state at this time of the year. Interstate buyers have already identified Hobart as a great place to live or invest.  Capture that market while they are here falling in love with our city. The tree and sea changers will be here, they are already sold on the idea, show them how they can make it a reality!
3.      Festive spirit keeps moods high. Warm and cheery are great feelings to be under the influence of when looking to buy. When people feel good they make decisions. Allow them to decide on your home!
4.      Blooming beauty  Gardens are looking great this time of year, particularly after the recent rainfall. As the summer months continue, things will start to dry out. The perception of your home is so important to the overall result. Show off your home now while it looks fantastic!
5.      Goal setting – Change making. As the New Year approaches, many are making plans to ensure 2018 is there best year yet. Some will set a goal to buy their first home, upgrade to cater for the growing family or look for that lifestyle change. Your home could very well enable them to fulfill that goal!
6.     Motivation highs  There have been many home owners who have capitalised on the booming market finding themselves nearing homelessness as their settlement date fast approaches. People looking at this time of year are serious and very keen to secure their next home. Buyers who are very motivated will assist you to secure a premium price for your asset.
7.     Be centre stage! There will be less competition with other sellers for your home at Christmas time. Many potential vendors will wait til the new year, leaving you with an opportunity to stand out and be seen. Attracting buyers to view your home and the friendly rivalry that follows as buyers vie for your home is what will create a premium price for your home.


Achieving an outstanding result for the sale of your home is beckoning. Find an agent who is enthusiastic and prepared to put the work in at this time of year, believes that this is a great time to sell and can evoke an emotional connection to your home from buyers and you will have something to celebrate over the festive season.

My latest listing is an enchanting property that has a heritage home operating as a bed and breakfast, Hamlet Downs. I recently spoke with the owner Jenifa about her property and her time there. So you’re originally a drama teacher and from Sydney, I believe you are a fan of Shakespeare’s works? Yes, I was a drama teacher at a Performing Arts High School in Sydney. Teaching Shakespeare to gifted students was a passion.   What made you consider Tasmania?  I had long held a dream to live in the country and run a B&B... I would get on my iPad at night and search B&Bs for sale in Australia. It soon became apparent that Tassie was the place that had many to choose from and I had always wanted to return having holidayed here many years ago.   A nd when you saw the property was named Hamlet Downs did you see that as a sign? I did think the name was intriguing... but I knew once I walked through the land here at Hamlet Downs, I knew it was a special place...

Recharge your relationships - the lasting power of true friendship Happy New Year! There is nothing like a New Year to bring your life into perspective and celebrate and be grateful for what you have and where you are going! For some of us though that's where it begins and ends. I'm determined that this year will be different for many. My hope for you all is that this year and the years to come are filled with perspective, gratitude and celebration throughout the whole year. The new year holds great possibilities for each and every one of us. It's our responsibility to act and take hold of all that is gifted to us, to realise it's place in the world and give thanks and celebrate it. For me, 2020 signifies a year of reaching for the stars, more than ever before, stepping up and stepping out to enable others to do the same and I know that without the power of friendships and in particular the sisterhood that surrounds me, possibilities will stay exactly that-po...
