Spring is on its way. March is around the corner and the daffodils are up. Traditionally the busiest time in the housing market is not around the corner…it is here. As I wrote last week, activity in the market is up around 20% on what we saw in 2023 straight after the mini budget and interest rate rises. However, we are not in a boom! Pricing and marketing are absolutely key to driving activity and securing a sale at a best price in an acceptable period of time. Taking advice from a professional, experienced agent is imperative. If you are thinking of selling call us today, drop us an email or pop in!
The Budget is on the horizon. It is just over two weeks until the Chancellor will go to the dispatch box to deliver the Budget. It is an election year….and that can mean a giveaway….but what could that mean for the housing market. There are lots of rumours regarding possible changes to stamp duty for house purchases. Also, possible help to buy schemes. Even a review of higher stamp duty for buy to let purchases. All will be revealed on 6th March and watch this space for updates!

Congratulations to Louis Sansom Williams who is our Performer of the Month for January! Louis booked a record number of house valuations in January allowing us to meet and give advice to more and more customers.

Viewing levels pick up! We have seen a large increase in the number of house viewings being booked in all offices. As we move out of January and (slowly) towards the spring it is expected that the market will come to life. There can be no doubt that this is happening and although the market is still very price sensitive. we are confident that 2024 will be a huge improvement on 2023! With falling mortgage rates, expected base rate cuts and a budget on the horizon this is the time to list your property to make the most of what the housing market for 2024.
