Selling your home in summer: Why June is a smart month

Are you thinking about selling your home? Then June might just be the perfect time to do it. Summer isn’t just popular for holiday plans – it’s also a great time for house hunting. In this blog, we’ll explain why June is such a smart month to put your home on the market – and how you can make the most of it.

1. More daylight = better presentation

The long summer days bring natural sunlight, which immediately gives your home a fresh and spacious look. Sunlight highlights the strong points of your property – a bright living room, a sunny garden or a balcony facing south all look much better now than on a grey winter day.

At Hey! Makelaars, we prefer to plan our photoshoots during this season. Good lighting leads to better photos on Funda and social media, resulting in more viewings.

2. Green gardens and blooming balconies

Nature is in full bloom in June. A neat front garden, colourful flowers or a cosy terrace immediately impress potential buyers. Outdoor spaces are more important than ever and can be the extra push someone needs to make an offer.

Make sure your garden or balcony is tidy. Think of freshly cut grass, blooming plants and a clean terrace. A small effort, big impact.

3. Active home seekers

In June, many buyers are extra active. People who started their search in spring often want to find a home before the summer or the new school year. This means more viewers, more offers and possibly a faster sale.

Also, many people haven’t gone on summer holiday yet, making it easier to schedule viewings.

4. A time for decisions

For many, June feels like an in-between moment. The spring rush is over, summer holidays are approaching and people are more at ease to make big decisions – like buying a house.

By tapping into that mindset now, you increase your chances of finding a serious buyer.

5. Moving before the new school year

Families often want to move before August so their children can start at a new school on time. If your home is family-friendly, then June is the ideal time to put it on the market.
