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.

After six months of decline, mortgage rates have nudged upward, and surprisingly, buyer activity has gone up with them. According to data from the Bank of England, mortgage approvals for home purchases rose by 2,400 in May to reach 63,000 approvals. Remortgage approvals also jumped by 6,200, while borrowing on mortgage debt rose by £2.8bn.

The spring surge is here and serious buyers are back. But more homes on the market means sellers must work harder to stand out. Here’s what that means for you.

You’ve probably noticed the “For Sale” signs are popping up more often — and disappearing just as quickly. That’s no accident. Right now, the market is moving — and those who move with it are getting results. Let’s break down what’s changed since last month… 👇
