The Market Is Hotting Up Just in Time for Summer

Summer isn’t just bringing the heat to Gibraltar’s shores - it’s also warming up the property market in a big way.  At Richardsons Estate Agency, we’re excited to report that June 2025 was our most successful month post-2022 for sales agreed.  In fact, we broke all previous records for the number of homes we helped move from “on the market” to “under offer” - and we’re only just getting started.

What’s even more telling? Five of the properties we sold in June had previously been listed with other agents, but failed to secure a sale.  Once they came to us, we applied our proven approach, and results quickly followed.

So, what’s our secret? It’s not luck or timing - it’s strategy.  At Richardsons, we rely on what we call the “4 Ps” method to get homes sold efficiently and for the best possible price.  These are:

✅ Pricing

✅ Presentation

✅ Promotion

✅ Person

 

Let’s break down how each of these played a role in our record-breaking June—and how they can help your property stand out in a busy summer market.

 

1. Pricing: Getting It Right from the Start

The Gibraltar property market is competitive and fast-moving.  But no matter how desirable the location or how modern the design, if a property isn’t priced correctly, it simply won’t attract offers.

Sellers in Gibrltar are often given inflated valuations to win instructions - only to be disappointed months later when viewings slowed and offers didn’t materialise.

At Richardsons, we believe in honest, data-backed pricing.  We study comparable sales, current buyer demand, and local market trends to position each property right where it needs to be to spark interest and create momentum.  Sometimes that means recommending a slight price adjustment - but the payoff is real, as our June sales show.

Correct pricing gets you more clicks, more viewings, and ultimately, better offers.

 

2. Presentation: First Impressions Matter

Would you walk into a job interview in wrinkled clothes and expect to land the role?  Selling a home works the same way - how a property is presented makes a big difference in how buyers perceive its value.

At Richardsons, we go above and beyond to ensure your property looks its absolute best, both in person and online.  That means advising on:

✅ Decluttering and depersonalising interiors

✅ Professional magazine-quality photography

✅ Floorplans that make sense

✅ Highlighting key features (views, layout, upgrades)

 

In one standout case from June, we transformed the way a listing was presented: we advised on how to stage the property, replaced low-light mobile photos with high-resolution shots, and rewrote the listing description to better communicate the lifestyle benefits.  Within two weeks, we had multiple viewings and a firm offer.

In Gibraltar’s market - where many buyers are relocating or investing from abroad - online presentation is your shop window.  It needs to shine.

 

3. Promotion: Not Just a Listing, a Launch

A property listed quietly and left to sit online will fade into the background.  That’s why, at Richardsons, we don’t just list your home - we launch it with a plan.

Our promotional strategy includes:

✅ Featured placements on leading property portals

✅ Email alerts to our database of qualified buyers

✅ Regular social media campaigns

✅ Eye-catching window displays in our College Lane / Main Street office

✅ Follow-up calls to buyers looking for similar homes

 

We also invest in targeted online advertising to reach potential buyers who may not yet be actively searching but are open to the right opportunity.  This approach ensures every listing gets the visibility it deserves.

One of our June sales had been sitting stale with another agent for nearly two years! Once we re-launched it with a fresh strategy, we generated over 30 enquiries in the first week alone, leading to a successful sale within 14 days.

 

4. Person: The Human Touch That Makes It Happen

At Richardsons, we believe that what truly sets us apart is our tenacity and determination to get the job done.  When we take on a property, we don’t just sit back and wait - we actively push to find the right buyer, the right deal, and the right outcome for our clients.

Every member of our team is personable, approachable, and focused on results.  We know how to build rapport with buyers, ask the right questions, overcome objections, and keep the momentum going through every stage of the sale.  We're not afraid to follow up, dig deeper, and go the extra mile - because for us, a property isn’t just “on the market”; it’s a mission we’ve taken on to see through to completion.

In several of our June sales, that tenacity made all the difference.  We chased leads, re-engaged cold enquiries, and kept deals alive where others may have walked away.  And that’s exactly how five previously unsold properties were turned around and successfully agreed.

 

We're not just experienced—we’re driven, persistent, and genuinely invested in every sale. And that makes all the difference.


 

Why This Summer Could Be the Right Time to Sell

With interest in Gibraltar property surging as summer gets into full swing, now is a perfect time to consider selling.  Whether you’ve been thinking about downsizing, relocating, or cashing in on your investment, the combination of strong buyer demand, limited supply, and seasonal momentum creates a favourable environment for sellers.

Our record-breaking June is proof: the market is active, motivated buyers are ready, and properly positioned homes are moving quickly.
