In addition to the price that can be achieved for a house or apartment in Hamburg, the time it takes to conclude the final contract is also one of the key success criteria for selling a property. As a rule, owners want to sell their property within as few months or even weeks as possible so that they can reinvest the freed-up capital promptly or use it for other purposes. However, how long it actually takes to sell a property in Hamburg Wellingsbüttel or one of the surrounding districts depends on a number of different influences and decisions. In the following overview, real estate agent Engel & Völkers Hamburg shows which points should be given particular consideration and explains how you can help to effectively reduce the time it takes to sell your house or apartment in Hamburg.

What kind of property for sale in Hamburg is it?

The average sales period for real estate in Germany is between 6 and 12 months. However, this is a figure that does not take into account spatial or property-specific details - despite their not inconsiderable influence on the required selling time. For example, houses, apartments and plots of land in good, well-maintained condition usually sell much faster than neglected properties or properties in need of renovation. Here you can help to speed up the actual sales process even before it begins: keep the property in good condition and ensure that it looks tidy, which will leave a positive impression on potential buyers. Depending on the property, we as real estate agents also recommend having basic renovation work carried out before starting to market the house or apartment - this can not only shorten the selling time, but also increase the potential selling price. On the other hand, you have less influence on the location of your property: Due to the increasing popularity of the city of Hamburg as an economic, shopping and cultural metropolis in recent years, you can assume that locating your property in Wellingsbüttel or another district in the idyllic north-east of Hamburg will have a significant effect on sales - and thus statistically reduces the sales period.

The influence of the current market situation on the sale of your apartment or house

For years, the team of real estate agents at Engel & Völkers Hamburg has recorded extremely high demand for apartments, houses and land in Wellingsbüttel and the entire Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The existing supply cannot fully cover the existing buying interest, so that often several potential buyers come forward for individual properties. As a result, your sale in Hamburg can usually be realized within the above-mentioned period of 6 months - if the asking price is right. If the target price is set too high, this unnecessarily prolongs the selling time and can even lead to complete unsaleability - which is why real estate agent Engel & Völkers Hamburg offers you a free and non-binding valuation of your house or apartment in Hamburg Wellingsbüttel, so that the selling price can then be set appropriately. But this is not the only advantage of working with a real estate agent for the duration of your sale.

Have you already asked a real estate agent to sell your property in Hamburg Wellingsbüttel?

Since the sale of a house, apartment or plot of land involves numerous activities and tasks, completing them alone requires a certain amount of time. Documents have to be collected or applied for, viewing appointments carried out and various marketing channels used online and offline. The more of these activities you can delegate to an expert, the quicker your sale will proceed. As the real estate agent of your choice, Engel & Völkers Hamburg not only takes care of the entire communication and operational aspects of the sales process, but also ensures that suitable prospective buyers are acquired for your property as soon as possible thanks to its extensive network of contacts. Compared to selling on your own, the time required is significantly reduced with our support.
