Why is now the right time to sell?

Summer often brings a sense of slowdown — holidays, heatwaves, and a media cycle eager to call time on the housing market. This year is no different, with recent headlines declaring “House prices see biggest July fall in 20 years.”

But if you dig beneath the headlines, a very different truth emerges.

At Wilkinson Grant & Co, we’ve just had one of our busiest summers on record — proving that smart sellers are still winning, and serious buyers are still out there, checking Rightmove from the beach, by the pool, and between barbecue duties.

The Reality on the Ground: Momentum, Not Meltdown

In June and July alone, we’ve:

  • Agreed sales on over £82 million worth of property in the Greater Exeter area

  • Accompanied 759 viewings

  • Registered 398 fresh buyer enquiries

Those numbers don’t reflect a quiet market. They reflect a dynamic, active one — powered by the buyers who aren’t taking the summer off.

Yes, the market is evolving — prices are correcting, and buyers are more discerning. But with more choice than ever on the market, it’s motivated sellers who are reaping the rewards by pricing realistically and partnering with an agent who can cut through the noise.

This Home's Not Waiting: Real Sales, Real Stories

Our recent success stories show exactly what’s possible:

  • Exchanged on a £1.25M home after 17 viewings at a single open house and four strong offers, achieving above guide price.

  • Completed a discreet, off-market sale at £2.25M within a month.

  • Sold a £1.5M home before it even launched, cancelling the open house entirely.

These aren’t exceptions. They’re the result of accurate pricing, smart marketing, and relentless energy from our team.

Why Waiting Could Hurt Your Sale

Some would-be sellers are holding back, hoping for a September surge. But here’s the risk: as more stock comes to market, competition will rise, and buyer attention will dilute.

Right now, motivated buyers are actively searching — and fewer homes means more eyes on yours. Waiting could mean blending in instead of standing out. As Giles Hann, Senior Associate Director at Wilkinson Grant & Co, puts it:

“The market rewards action. Sellers who work with a proactive agent, listen to honest advice, and move decisively are seeing results. Great estate agency isn’t about waiting — it’s about making things happen.”

Our Advice? Sell Smarter and Market Now While Others Wait

The market is still moving. But it’s rewarding sellers who move smartly — not slowly. At Wilkinson Grant & Co, we’re experts at creating that movement. We know how to:

  • Accurately price your home to attract strong offers

  • Create standout marketing that reaches serious buyers — wherever they are.

  • Work every lead and opportunity to maximise your sale potential

So, if you're thinking of selling, don’t let summer headlines or holidays hold you back.

  • Book a free, no obligation valuation with one of our local experts and find out:

  • What your home is really worth in today's market

  • How to outshine competing listings this summer

  • What buyers are telling us right now about what they want

The market is moving - and so are smart sellers.
