Why Autumn is a Great Time to Sell Your Home

When people think of the “perfect” time to sell, spring often steals the spotlight. But here’s the thing: autumn might actually give sellers the edge – especially in a tight market like Perth's.

At Contessi Properties, we’re seeing plenty of motivated buyers still actively searching, and with fewer homes on the market, well-presented properties are standing out more than ever.

If you’ve been toying with the idea of selling, here’s why autumn could be your sweet spot:

1. Serious Buyers Are Still in the Market

Autumn buyers tend to be more focused. Many are trying to secure a home before the winter slowdown, and they’re not just window shopping – they’re ready to act.

2. Less Competition

Spring usually sees a flood of new listings, but autumn? It’s quieter. That means your home is more likely to grab attention without competing against a dozen similar properties in your suburb.

3. The Market is Still Moving

CoreLogic reports show that Perth prices rose another 2% last month, the highest increase in the country. With low stock and high demand, buyers are stepping up – and sellers are reaping the rewards.

4. Autumn Ambience

Cooler temperatures, golden light, and cosy interiors all work in your favour. Whether it’s a warm-toned styling palette or a garden with beautiful autumn colour, this season can make your property feel like home to potential buyers.

5. A Head Start on Spring Sellers

Selling in autumn gives you more time to plan your next move, beat the rush, and potentially lock in a great sale price before others even list.
