Should you sell your home over Christmas?
Why This December Might Be Your Smartest Move Yet
Every December, the same myth resurfaces: “No one buys property over Christmas.”
At Perth Style Company, we hear it every year and every year, we watch the savvy sellers prove it spectacularly wrong.
Because while the festive season brings long lunches, ocean swims and a well-earned exhale… this year it also brings something incredibly rare to the Perth market:
Record-low listing numbers.
Buyers still active.
Competition at an all-time minimum.
Most sellers have simply given up on December, which is exactly why the ones who list now will get the biggest results.
If you’ve been toying with the idea of selling, this is the golden window you didn’t expect. Here’s why.
1. December buyers aren’t browsing. they’re ready!
By Christmas, the casual browsers have vanished.
But the people still refreshing listing portals, booking viewings, and DM’ing agents?
They’re the real ones.
They’re committed.
They’re intentional.
And after months of searching in a low-supply market, they’re hungry not to miss the next opportunity.
This urgency often translates to:
Faster offers
Less hesitation
Stronger price outcomes
When a buyer wants a home locked in before the new year, they move decisively and that momentum can work beautifully in your favour.
2. record-low listings mean your home commands attention
Spring is traditionally stunning for real estate and saturated because of it.
But this year in Perth, listings have hit record lows, and by December, nearly everyone has pressed pause.
That’s why this moment is so strategic.
With so few properties coming online, you’re not competing with 10 or 15 similar homes launching in the same week. Instead:
Buyers have more time and emotional space to focus on your property
Your styling and photography stand out instantly
Your marketing cuts through naturally in a quieter, calmer landscape
In an undersupplied marketplace, a beautifully styled home becomes magnetic.
It shines without the noise.
And when you’re one of the very few listings available, you are suddenly the hot ticket.
3. The emotional buy hits hard at christmas
December carries a unique emotional energy. Home, connection, fresh starts, belonging.
A beautifully styled property taps directly into those feelings.
Warm textures. Summer tones. Inviting bedrooms. Light-filled, relaxed living spaces.
It’s the season when people are imagining where they want to make memories next year… and when they walk into a home that feels like the next chapter of their life?
The emotional buy is powerful and styling becomes a genuine influencing force.
4. LIST NOW, BEAT THE NEW YEAR SURGE
Every January, the market snaps back to life with a flood of new listings. We’re already booking heavily into the new year and expecting another strong post-holiday wave.
Launching your property in December means:
You capture the most motivated buyers
You avoid drowning in the January listing surge
You enjoy an unusually spotlighted moment in the market
While everyone else is still prepping their homes, you’re already ahead, and perfectly positioned.
