Three words that get me excited... BOXING DAY SALE! When consumer goods are offered at discounted prices, it is self-evident that is an opportunity. What is less obvious is when high-quality investments come down in price. But, often, that is an opportunity too. #financialplanning

A record number of new sellers put their property up for sale on Rightmove on Boxing Day 2022, a 46% jump on the previous year. The property portal said that prospective sellers also got ready for a New Year move, with the number of people contacting estate agents to value their home between Boxing Day last year and New Year’s Day the highest number recorded in a week since early September, and 29% higher than the same period in 2021. According to the property website, the number of properties brought to the market for sale on Boxing Day by estate agents last year was 173% higher than 2019, and 46% higher than 2021. #Marketstats #propertymarket #Whitegates #christmassales #property
According to Rightmove, there was an 8% increase in people using the online property search portal compared to the same day last year. There was also a 26% rise in new seller listings compared to the previous year. This indicates a positive outlook for the market as clearly buyers and sellers are out there wanting to make changes. With inflation continuing to fall, we are hoping interest rates will reduce meaning more people can get on the property ladder.

Boxing Day is a great time to snag some great deals and sales, but it can also be a time when you overspend and end up with a financial hangover. To avoid this, here are five finance tips to help you make the most of Boxing Day without breaking the bank: • Set a budget: Before you start shopping, decide on a budget for how much you can afford to spend. Stick to your budget and avoid overspending by making a list of the items you need and prioritizing them based on importance. • Compare prices: Don't assume that just because an item is on sale, it's the best deal. Take the time to compare prices at different stores or online to make sure you're getting the best price possible. • Use cash or debit: Avoid using credit cards if possible, as interest charges can quickly add up. Instead, use cash or debit to keep track of your spending and avoid overspending. • Avoid impulse buys: It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of Boxing Day sales and make impulse buys. Before making a purchase, ask yourself if you really need it and if it fits within your budget. • Plan for next year: If you missed out on a great deal this year, start planning for next year's Boxing Day sales now. Set aside money each month so you're prepared to take advantage of the deals when they come around again. By following these finance tips, you can make the most of Boxing Day sales without overspending and starting the new year in debt. #christmas #christmastips #holiday #boxingday #financetips #retireinvestcanberra

2023 Rightmove Boxing Day stats packs a punch! What this means for you... The recent data indicates a significant surge in property activity on Boxing Day 2023, breaking last year's record with a 26% increase in new sellers. This positive trend was mirrored on the buyer's side, with a remarkable 273% spike in buyers contacting estate agents about homes for sale compared to Christmas Day. Visits to the Rightmove platform also saw a substantial rise of 84% between Christmas and Boxing Day. I suspect accurately priced properties will start to get snapped up as we see this increase in buyers (that have been holding off) ready to commit!

Boxing Day Blues: Shoppers Throw in the Towel on Sales (£3.7bn Jab Doesn't Knock Out!) #BoxingDayBlues #PostChristmasSlump #BudgetBrawl #InflationKO #BlackFridayWinner #RetailRumble #HeavyDiscounts #ClearanceCrew Hold onto your wallets, folks! This Boxing Day is shaping up to be a spending slowdown, with shoppers throwing in the towel on post-Christmas deals to the tune of 3% less than last year. #WalletWhisperer #ShopSavvyNotSorry #StayWarmStayThrifty #NoBoxingDayBrawlJustChillVibes #QualityTimeOverSaleTime #HolidayHeartwarmingNoHarshBargaining The blame game? Enter Black Friday: the early bird who ate up all the shopping hype and left Boxing Day with scraps. Plus, let's face it, our budgets are facing a haymaker from inflation, making every penny count. So, what's the vibe out there? Tepid at best. Only 14.3% of shoppers plan to join the Boxing Day stampede, with many retailers throwing desperate punches in the form of heavy discounts to clear out unsold stock (those autumn coats are still shivering!). #UKShoppersUnite (or similar depending on your location) #HighStreetsHoldingOn #OnlineVsInStoreBattle But hey, don't count Boxing Day out just yet! Maybe the real treasure isn't in the stores, but in the time spent with loved ones. Remember, sometimes the best deals are the ones that don't cost a dime. ❤️ #BoxingDayBlues #BlackFridayBinge #BudgetBeltTightening #RetailRumble #StayWarmStayThrifty
