Real estate sales in spring 2025
Take advantage of the best time of year to sell!
Spring is traditionally the peak season on the real estate market—and for good reason. Properties look their best at this time of year, buyers are more active, and sales times are shorter. As your local real estate expert in Velbert, Ratingen, and Mettmann, we can help you make the most of this optimal selling season.
Why spring is the best time to sell real estate
Optimal presentation of your property
In spring, your property shows itself from its best side:
- Gardens and outdoor areas in full bloom
- Bright, light-filled rooms thanks to longer daylight hours
- Pleasant temperatures for viewings
- Fresh atmosphere thanks to open windows and doors
Higher demand and better prices
The statistics speak for themselves:
- 25% more prospective buyers in spring compared to winter
- Up to 5% higher sales prices in the spring season
- 30% shorter marketing times from April to June
- More competition among buyers leads to better conditions
Ideal timing for buyers
Spring fits perfectly into many buyers' plans:
- Moving during the pleasant summer months Settling in before fall and winter
- Change of school during the summer holidays for families with children Carry out renovations in good weather
- Carry out renovations in good weather

After an unsuccessful attempt to sell in the winter, we started again in the spring with Kartheuser Immobilien.

The decision to start again in the spring was absolutely worth it.

How long does it take to sell a property in spring?
In the spring season, the average marketing period in our region is reduced to 6-8 weeks, compared to 10-12 weeks in fall/winter. With optimal preparation and market-driven pricing, significantly shorter sales times are also possible.
Should I wait to sell until my garden looks nicer?
If your garden is an important selling point, it may be wise to wait for the optimal flowering time. However, you should not wait too long—the main selling season begins in April. Our team can advise you on the optimal timing.
How important are professional photos for selling?
Extremely important! Over 90% of prospective buyers first search for properties online and decide within seconds based on the photos whether they want more information. Professional spring photos with blooming gardens and bright light can increase the number of inquiries by up to 40%.
Can I sell my property myself?
In principle, yes, but professional support is particularly worthwhile during the high season when there are many interested parties and potential price negotiations. Our statistics show that owners who sell with us achieve sales prices that are on average 5-7% higher than with private sales – significantly more than our commission.
How much does it cost to sell with Kartheuser Immobilien?
Our commission is 3.57% including VAT of the sale price and is only payable upon successful completion of the notarized purchase agreement. All marketing measures, viewings, and consulting services are included—with no upfront costs for you.
