Spring Selling Season: Why 2025 Is Shaping UpDifferently

One of the most overused real estate clichés has tobe – “Spring is the time to sell.” And while there is good reason whymany say this, 2025 has certainly proven to be one of those years where thephrase rings especially true.

For most of 2025, the number of new listings comingto market has been down compared to previous years. Meanwhile, buyer demand hasremained steady – and in many areas, it has actually increased.

Buyer enquiry numbers are up almost 30% compared tothe first two quarters of the year.

This imbalance has once again created upwardpressure on prices. Sellers in recent weeks have been genuinely surprised bythe results they’ve achieved.

The Challenge for Sellers

Of course, many of those who sell also need to buy.With demand at its highest level in years, sellers are understandably nervousabout their ability to secure their next home after selling their current one.

A few years ago, we introduced our Safe MoveStrategy, which has proven highly effective for clients in this exactsituation. The approach makes your sale contingent on a successful purchase,ensuring that you’re not left without a home.

While imitation may be the highest form offlattery, and some agents have attempted similar strategies, none have achievedthe same level of success as those working with Johnson Real Estate.

Anecdotally, more than 30 sales in the past fewmonths have used this strategy. It has given sellers the confidence to bringtheir property to market, knowing that unless they secure a home at the otherend, they won’t be forced into selling.
