A record number of new sellers put their property up for sale on Rightmove on Boxing Day 2023, a 46% jump on the previous year, claims Rightmove… So, what is all the fuss about?
Somewhere over the last 8-10 years, a tradition has been growing. Some agents will deem it nonsensical, and some agents put all their eggs in one basket, but what are the facts and trends we see today around online platforms, particularly Rightmove and Zoopla for Boxing day?
When I was training all those years back, the way I understood it in a lighthearted way, was that after the festive period, people would either commit to new goals, relationships and ventures, or part ways, causing a spike in people looking for new homes. People also have more time on their hands than usual, and again after spending time with loved ones or for extended periods at home, they review their surroundings and options.
Last year, Boxing Day 2023 set an unprecedented level of activity! ”A record number of new sellers put their property up for sale on Rightmove on Boxing Day 2023, a 46% jump on the previous year, claims Rightmove” So this year, we expect the trend to continue!
