If you’re thinking of selling your home in the Costa Tropical or southern Granada province, you may be planning to wait until spring—after all, it’s often seen as the “traditional” selling season. But waiting could actually mean missing out on a much stronger market right now.
Many sellers hold off until spring under the assumption that warmer weather and renewed buyer interest will bring a better sale price. However, the reality is that demand is already high, and there aren’t enough properties available—meaning this could be the perfect moment to get your home on the market and achieve a premium price.
Supply, Demand, and Why It Matters for Your Sale
Right now, the property market is seeing a classic case of low supply and high demand. We have explore this in more detail in our recent Property Market report
✔ Plenty of Buyers: Many foreign buyers are actively looking to secure homes before the peak buying months—especially those wanting to relocate permanently or secure a future home in Spain, even more so in certain price ranges because of the golden visa changes.
✔ Fewer Listings = Less Competition: Many sellers hold off until spring, meaning buyers currently have fewer choices, increasing the chances of securing a strong offer.
✔ Buyers Are More Motivated: Those looking now aren’t just browsing. Many are serious buyers, ready to move quickly when they find the right property.
If you wait until spring, your home will be competing with a surge of new listings—giving buyers more options and potentially reducing your ability to sell quickly or secure a higher price.
Why Many Sellers Delay—and Why You Shouldn’t
“I’ll get a better price if I wait.”
This is one of the biggest misconceptions in property selling as we highlighted here. Yes, spring brings more buyers, but it also brings more competition from other sellers. When supply catches up with demand, buyers have more power to negotiate. Right now, limited supply means you have the upper hand.
“My property isn’t quite ready yet.”
It’s common to feel that your home needs work before listing. But a well-prepared property doesn’t have to be perfect—and waiting for spring means missing buyers who are actively looking today.

How to Prepare Your Home for the Market Today
If you want to maximise your price and attract serious buyers, a well-prepared home is key. For aq comprehensive guide, refer to our article on Selling Your Home in 2025 – 10 Top Tips to Prepare. Here’s what you should focus on:
1. First Impressions Matter – Get Your Home Ready for Viewings
Buyers make decisions quickly, often within minutes of walking through the door. To make sure your home feels inviting:
- Declutter and depersonalise—buyers need to see themselves living in the space.
- Let in natural light—open curtains and make rooms feel bright and airy.
- Address minor repairs—small issues can leave buyers questioning the property’s condition.
2. Professional Marketing = More Interest
Quality marketing can be the difference between getting a strong offer and sitting on the market for months. Discover how effective strategies made a difference in our Success Stories.
- Create detailed video tours—essential now that almost all buyers search online before arranging a viewing.
- Use high-quality photography to showcase your home at its best.
- Market your property strategically across multiple platforms, ensuring it reaches the right buyers.
3. Stage Your Home for Maximum Appeal
Simple touches can make a big difference:
- Use soft furnishings (throws, cushions) to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
- Add fresh flowers or houseplants for a touch of life and color.
- Ensure outdoor spaces are tidy—whether it’s a garden, terrace, or balcony, buyers love usable outdoor areas.
4. Price It Right from the Start
Overpricing can scare buyers away, while underpricing leaves money on the table. With demand currently high, sellers who price correctly can often secure a quick sale at full asking price—or even above.
