If the Time is Right, the Time is Right!
For years, the property world has sung from the same hymn sheet: “Wait for spring to sell.” The days get longer, the daffodils bloom, and everything looks a little more photogenic.
But Cambridge doesn’t play by the same rules.
With its world-class universities, thriving tech and biotech sectors, and a constant stream of new residents from all over the world, Cambridge’s property market ticks to its own rhythm. Our buyers don’t wait for spring, they move when life tells them to. Whether it’s starting a new job in January, settling the kids before the school term, or finally finding “the one,” demand here runs all year round.
So, what happens in December and January? Many sellers assume it’s a quiet time, so they hold off until March. The result? A seasonal shortage of homes for sale, just when motivated buyers are still searching (and often frustrated by the lack of choice).
That shortage creates a window of opportunity.
List your home in these “quieter” months and you’ll be competing with far fewer properties. Your home stands out more, attracts more serious buyers, and, more often than not, sells faster and for a stronger price than in the so-called “busy” months.
At Cooke Curtis & Co, we know that the right time to sell isn’t written in the calendar. It’s defined by your circumstances, your goals, and what the market is doing right now and right now, there’s plenty of demand and not enough supply.
So, if moving has been on your mind, don’t wait for the daffodils.

Because when it comes to Cambridge property, if the time is right, the time is right, whatever the month on the calendar.
