At BU Homes, we often get asked: “Does the property market slow down over the summer?”
The answer? Not exactly – it just changes.
The summer holidays bring a shift in pace, but not necessarily a drop in opportunity. While many families are away making memories, there’s still plenty of movement in the Solihull and West Midlands property market.
📉 A Slight Dip in Viewings – But Serious Buyers Remain
It’s true that July and August can see fewer casual viewings, as school breaks and holidays take priority. However, those booking appointments at this time of year tend to be serious, motivated buyers – often keen to move before the autumn market picks up pace.
📈 A Great Window for Sellers
With fewer homes hitting the market during summer, competition can be lower. This means your property may stand out more to active buyers, especially if it’s well-presented and priced correctly.
⏳ Timing Your Move
We’ve noticed a familiar pattern: late August often sparks an increase in enquiries, as families return from holidays and start planning moves before Christmas. If you’re considering selling, getting your property listed now means you’ll be ahead of the post-summer rush.
💡 BU Homes’ Tip
If your property is on the market during summer, keep it fresh and inviting – tidy gardens, bright interiors, and welcoming kerb appeal can make all the difference. Serious buyers are still out there, and they’re often making quicker decisions in these quieter months.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about the current market, our local expertise means we can guide you every step of the way.
