The sun is shining…the daffodils are out in force and, dare we suggest it, there is a whisper of warmth in the air! Spring has surely now arrived, and with it comes the much-anticipated surge in the property market.
Across Glasgow and the West, the season signals new beginnings – not just in nature, but in the housing market too. Buyers are emerging in force, eager to make their move. The question is: will sellers step forward to meet the demand?
Every year, spring proves to be one of the busiest times in the property market, and 2025 is no exception. Demand is at an all-time high, yet the supply of homes remains low by comparison. This imbalance creates a golden opportunity for those considering selling – one where competition among buyers is fierce, leading to higher sale prices, stronger offers, and faster transactions.
Here’s the truth: there is no perfect moment – only opportunity. And in this market, fortune truly favours the bold.
The Advantage of Selling First
Spring is a time of movement – homes come to market, and buyers are actively searching. But to be in the best position, selling first can be the smartest decision.
By securing a sale before you buy, you become a proceedable buyer – the kind sellers prioritise. When the right home comes up, you’ll be in the strongest position to act quickly, negotiate with confidence, and avoid being caught in a chain that could slow you down or cause you to miss out altogether.
Having a sale agreed (or better yet, completed) also gives you financial clarity, removing any guesswork about budgets, affordability, and mortgage approvals. Sellers naturally favour buyers who are ready to move, meaning you’ll have an edge over those who are still trying to sell their own property.
When Selling First Isn’t an Option
We know that selling first isn’t the right approach for everyone. For families, those relocating, or sellers who need greater security before making their next move, timing and certainty are key considerations. In these cases, planning ahead and working closely with an expert can make all the difference.
At Corum, we help clients in every situation – whether you need to find a buyer while securing your next home or require a more structured transition plan. Our team can provide insights on what options are available and viable, market trends, and negotiation strategies to help you move with confidence.
Whatever your circumstances, we’ll work with you to ensure your next step is the right one.
