Is Your Home’s Marketing Helping or Hurting Your Sale?

Is Your Home’s Marketing Helping or Hurting Your Sale?

Great marketing isn’t just nice to have — it’s what turns interest into serious offers. Here’s why so many homes underperform and what you can do differently.

If you’ve ever browsed property portals and wondered why some homes stand out while others get overlooked — it’s not just luck. It’s marketing strategy.

Here’s what the data shows:

📸 Listings with professional photography receive up to 61% more views (Rightmove, May 2025).
🎥 Homes with video tours receive 47% more enquiries on average.
📈 Properties launched with full marketing campaigns sell 33% faster and at higher prices.

Yet, despite these numbers, many agents still rely on:

❌ Quick phone photos with poor lighting
❌ Basic descriptions lacking storytelling
❌ Passive portal listings without proactive buyer targeting

Why does this matter for you?


Your home is likely your most valuable tax-free asset. Marketing it well isn’t an add-on — it’s the difference between selling for what it’s worth or leaving money on the table.

At The Avenue, we take marketing seriously because buyers buy emotionally before logically. That’s why our approach includes:

Presenter-led video tours to bring your home to life
Drone photography and videography to showcase scale and location
Strategic social media campaigns targeted to buyers beyond the portals
High-quality staging and presentation advice to maximise first impressions

Want to see the difference?



Because your home deserves to be shown at its absolute best — and buyers will pay more for a home they fall in love with.

As we step into 2026, many homeowners are wondering what the new year holds for the property market. This January update offers a calm, confident look at the current landscape, helping you understand the key trends and what they mean for your home.

Most landlords don’t review their property until something goes wrong. But the strongest portfolios are built through regular check-ins, not reactive fixes. December is the perfect time to step back, assess performance and make small changes now that protect returns, reduce stress and set the year ahead up properly.

When homeowners choose an agent, trust and confidence matter more than anything else. In this article we show why how your home is marketed in January 2026 can be the difference between standing out or blending into the crowd.

Pricing in January can make or break your 2026 sale. This article explains why early year pricing works differently, how buyers behave at the start of the year and what smart sellers do to create competition rather than price cuts.
