Is It Worth Selling in Winter?
Most people assume winter is the wrong time to sell. It’s cold, the garden looks bare, daylight hours are short, and the general feeling is that buyers disappear until spring.

Here’s the thing though - that assumption is exactly what can work in your favour.

Let me explain.

The competition drops sharply

When most sellers hold off until spring, the number of homes on the market stays low through the winter months. That means less competition for your property. Buyers who are actively looking in winter don’t have as many options to choose from, which keeps attention on your home and reduces the chance of it getting lost in a crowded market.

In a spring market, buyers can afford to be picky. In winter, good homes stand out.

Coastal living looks a little different when you see it through a family lens.

It’s the early morning walks to the beach before school and sandy feet at the back door. It’s knowing the kids have space to grow, good schools nearby, and a neighbourhood where people tend to stay.

Even in the cooler months, it doesn’t really change, just a few extra layers, and the same routines that make it feel like home.

Across the Bays, it’s this balance that draws families in. Not just the coastline, but the everyday ease that comes with living close to it.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move closer to the coast, there’s a reason so many families do.

Greenhithe has that rare balance the North Shore is known for. Close enough to Albany and the motorway to make life easy, but quiet enough to feel properly removed from it all.

Large sections, established trees and homes with real space are a big part of why people tend to stay once they move here.

Two standout properties currently on the market capture that lifestyle perfectly.

10 Olwyn Place is a restored four bedroom villa with pressed tin ceilings, timber floors and a separate two bedroom legal income on 1,610sqm. Marketed by Ronelle Henning.

174 Upper Harbour Drive is a five bedroom Queenslander-style estate on 6,557sqm with a pool, all weather court and grounds that feel a world away from the city. Marketed by Ronelle Henning and Jeff Wagg.

📲 Contact Ronelle Henning Real Estate on 021 138 4004 or Mike Hotchin & Jeff Wagg Property on 027 499 3216 for more details on these beautiful homes and what life in Greenhithe is all about.
