What does this tell us? On the whole, the British & Plymouth property market is healthier than this time last year.
Regions outside of London are leading the charge, with affordability and local demand giving them momentum. London remains sluggish, managing only a small uplift, and Northern Ireland has actually slipped back.
Yet it must be remembered that only 1 in 2 homes listed in the UK sell and move. The other half are withdrawn or left unsold. With just 50.9% finding a buyer, realistic pricing isn’t optional, it’s essential!
