A Local Property Market Update from Love Property Co
Published: 3rd August 2026
If you’re wondering “Is now a good time to sell my home?”, you’re certainly not alone. It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often by homeowners across Solihull, Knowle, Dorridge, Shirley, Balsall Common, Meriden, Hampton-in-Arden, Earlswood and the surrounding villages.
The simple answer is… yes – for many homeowners, now remains an excellent time to sell.
While the property market has changed over the past few years, well-priced homes in desirable locations continue to attract strong interest from motivated buyers.
Why Are Buyers Still Looking?
Life doesn’t stop because of changing market conditions.
People are still moving because of:
- Growing families needing more space.
- Downsizing after children have moved out.
- Job relocations.
- School catchment areas.
- Retirement.
- First-time buyers taking their first step onto the property ladder.
At Love Property Co, we’re seeing consistent demand across many of the areas we cover, particularly for family homes in sought-after locations.
The Importance of Correct Pricing
One of the biggest factors in achieving a successful sale isn’t timing—it’s pricing.
Today’s buyers are well informed. With property portals such as Rightmove and OnTheMarket, they can compare homes instantly, making accurate pricing more important than ever.
As experienced estate agents in Solihull, we provide honest, evidence-based valuations that reflect current market conditions, helping sellers attract serious buyers from the outset.
Local Knowledge Makes a Difference
Every area has its own market.
A property in Knowle may appeal to a different buyer than one in Shirley, while homes in Dorridge, Balsall Common, Meriden, Earlswood or Hampton-in-Arden each have their own levels of demand and buyer profiles.
That’s why working with a knowledgeable, local estate agent is so important.
At Love Property Co, we live and work in the communities we serve. We understand what buyers are looking for and how to position your property to achieve the best possible result.
Presentation Still Matters
First impressions have never been more important.
Simple improvements such as:
- Decluttering rooms
- Fresh paint where needed
- Well-maintained gardens
- Clean, bright interiors
can make a significant difference to both the number of viewings and the offers you receive.
Professional photography, engaging property videos and targeted social media advertising also help maximise exposure to potential buyers.
