Is it Time to Take That First Step Towards Moving?

Many people like you get stuck in that “almost ready” stage. You want to move, you’ve registered with agents, you might even have seen some dream homes online… but your current property still isn’t on the market.

If you’ve been thinking about moving home but haven’t yet listed it, you’re in a very common crisis!

Many people like you get stuck in that “almost ready” stage. You want to move, you’ve registered with agents, you might even have seen some dream homes online… but your current property still isn’t on the market.

Sound familiar?

As your local avocado property partner for Reading and the surrounding areas, I see this all the time. And more often than not, it’s not just about the logistics; it’s about emotions, uncertainty, and timing.

Why Haven’t You Listed Yet?

There’s no wrong (or right) answer here. You might be:
  • Unsure if the timing is optimal 
  • Nervous about the selling process
  • Not sure what your home is worth
  • Waiting to find the “perfect” next place first
  • Feeling emotionally attached to where you are

All of those reasons are completely valid (please don’t let anyone convince you otherwise!), but here’s the truth: once you start the process, everything else starts to get easier.

Let’s Build Your Plan Together

The first step? Understanding what your home is worth right now. That doesn’t mean you have to list tomorrow, it just means you can start planning with clarity.

When I come to value your property, we talk through:
  • Your ideal timelines
  • Your goals for your next chapter
  • What matters most to you (location, price, and pace)
  • It’s personal and flexible. And it’s built around you.

That’s one of the biggest differences when you work with a self-employed avocado agent like me. I don’t juggle dozens of listings at a time or follow a one-size-fits-all approach. I choose to work with a small number of clients so I can give each one the focus, attention, and care they actually deserve. 

With me, you're not just another listing on a board. You're the priority.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

If the perfect property comes along before you’re ready, that can create panic. But if your home is already on the market or even just prepped and valued, you’ll be in a stronger position to make your move.

(That’s what the HQ support team calls being “proceedable” - I know, estate agent jargon…yawn. All it really means is you’re ready. And don’t worry, if you do decide to put your house on the market with me, I promise to limit the industry buzzwords and talk to you on a human level!)

As we step into the new year, the property market in Earley is calm, steady and considered. Homes are still selling, buyers are still active, and mortgage approvals are ticking over but not with the urgency of a boom market. Now, it's timing, pricing accuracy and an understanding of local competition that separate the homes.

Want to sell your home for the best price? First impressions matter—especially online. Dull photos, weak descriptions, and outdated marketing can cost you serious money. At Avocado Property, we use high-quality visuals, video tours, and social media to make your home stand out.

Are You Googling Things Like: “Should I reduce my asking price?” “Why isn’t my house selling?” “How to sell my home faster without dropping the price?” If so, you’ll be one of many. But before you agree to a reduction, let’s look at what else might be holding things back.

As we settle into the new year, the property market in Crowthorne is calm, steady and sensible. This is not a frenzied, post-lockdown boom anymore and that’s a good thing. It means successful moves now come down to smart pricing and good timing, not guesswork or luck.
