SELL, SELL, SELL Before Christmas
17 WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS - THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!
The countdown is on - there are only 17 weeks until Christmas, and for real estate agents across South East Queensland and beyond, now is the perfect time to wrap up your auction campaigns so you can lock those sales in prior to the break. The window of opportunity is open but it is closing fast, which is why auction is the obvious sales choice method to secure settlements this side of the new year.
Why Sell Before Christmas?
The final quarter of the year is one of the busiest times in real estate. Buyers are motivated - whether it’s families looking to secure a new home before school starts, investors keen to finalise purchases before the new year, or individuals determined to make a fresh start in 2026. Listing now means you’re tapping into a pool of qualified, motivated buyers who want results before the festive season, off the back of a tighter market with reduced listing volumes throughout winter.
Selling before Christmas allows your sellers to start their new chapter and the new year with certainty - whether that’s upsizing or downsizing to a new home, reallocating funds, securing a new year investment and beyond.
The Auction Advantage
When time is of the essence, auction is the most effective method of sale. Here’s why:
Competition Drives Price – Auctions bring qualified buyers together in a transparent environment, encouraging competitive bidding and maximising the result.
Time-Certain Campaigns – With a set auction date, sellers have a clear timeline, buyers have a deadline and we are encouraging unconditional contracts, so everyone can approach the festive season with peace of mind.
Flexibility to Sell Prior – If the right offer comes along, auctions give sellers the option to sell before auction day, fast-tracking their move.
Clear Market Feedback – Throughout the campaign, agents and auctioneers can provide sellers with direct insights into buyer interest, helping with informed decisions.
Start the New Year Fresh
Imagine stepping into 2026 with your listings sold, finances settled, and your plans for the new year in motion. By choosing the auction process with Holmes & Co, you’re not only maximising your sale potential but also ensuring you can move forward with clarity and confidence. Unconditional contracts and settlements prior to the break are also a bonus as you don’t need to navigate bank and solicitor closures and confusions through the settlement process – not to mention cash in the bank for the holiday period.
