What impact does Christmas have on the housing market?

December can be perceived to be a quiet month for the property market, but this year might be the exception.

We recently sat down with Chris from our Canterbury office to find out why the lead up to Christmas could be the perfect time to consider switching to Sandersons.

Here's a few properties that were on the market with other agents, but the vendors switched to Sandersons for a refreshed marketing strategy and are now sold (stc):

The Ransleys, Challock
Bowl Field, Hastingleigh
Stonecrop, Maidstone
St. Pauls Terrace, Canterbury
Island Road, Sturry
Highfield House, Adisham

Here's some properties that are now on the market with Sandersons that have made the switch from other agents...

Hales Place Granary, High Halden - View listing
Harts Cottages, Hamstreet - View listing
Newlands Cottages, Molash - View listing
Cullings Hill, Elham - View listing

Myth #3: Agents always work in your best interests
