Some good news for house buyers this week with fixed rate mortgages rates hitting a six-month low. Fixed mortgage deals have fallen for four months straight. Coupled with the news from The Budget that inflation is expected to be less than 3% by the end of the year. We have noticed house viewings numbers pick up through this month. Sales increased in February compared to January and we feel this trend will continue. All indicators point towards a more normal housing market in 2023. With activity levels similar to what we saw in 2018 and 2019. Competitively priced starter homes and terrace houses are especially in demand. Although the prices achieved on some larger properties has definitely fallen back since summer 2022 we have agreed more sales in March on properties over £300,000 than we did in January and February

Traditionally the spring has been the time of year that the housing market has picked up. This follows on from traditional Christmas slowdown that inevitably starts around mid November. We usually see activity pick up through January but when we hit February half term things really start to roll forward. This is the case this year. Across our group viewing levels have really increased over the past few weeks and sales across the our offices in the first half of February are very much around the level we saw in the pre pandemic years. What does this mean for the housing market in general? After some very strong years in 2020, 2021 and 2022 with the number of sales and house price growth, it seems obvious that this year may be different. A less frantic housing market can be a better one to sell and buy in as although it can be a slightly longer process selling there are generally more properties to choose from when you find a buyer and can proceed to an offer. If you are thinking of selling give us a call to discuss your options.
