Should you wait for “peak market” to sell a block of units? Simon Abbott, Victoria-wide specialist, unpacks the impact of seasonality, holidays, investor financing windows and real case study timing. Here’s what owners need to know in 2026.

Key Timing Factors

• Market demand for investment assets tends to be stronger Feb–June and mid-August–November
• Holiday slowdowns (late Dec–early Feb, school holidays) reduce investor urgency
• Tax planning cycles—some individual & SMSF buyers prefer to acquire before or after 30 June

Flexibility Wins Over Rigid Timing

With the right buyer network, cash investors and SMSFs transact year-round. Simon’s best transactions come from responding fast to real opportunity, not waiting for a theoretical “ideal month”.

Simon matched a pre-approved buyer ready in a traditionally “slow” period, triggering competition among three syndicate groups and closing the sale above the owner’s target—despite calendar headwinds.
