BUTFIELD BREACH NEWS MAY 2026
INTERESTING PROPERTY MARKET INFORMATION
A few days ago, Butfield Breach had a very informative meeting with the UK’s biggest property portal. The hour and a half spent was very productive and helped confirm many things we thought were happening and are currently experiencing. This aids us in planning forward and to help our clients.
STOCK LEVELS ARE AT AN 11 YEAR HIGH!
This is the greatest amount of availability now on the market, which stretches back before Brexit. It has given prospective buyers a tremendous amount of choice.
VIDEO VIEWINGS ARE AN OBSTACLE TO SALES! A WHOPPING 8% DOWN!
Video Viewings have cut buyer leads by a WHOPPING 8%. There is no substitute for a viewing carried out by a Sales Consultant in person. It feels like a cost-cutting solution that is harming an owners chance of selling.
TELEPHONE ENQUIRIES ARE ON THE UP!
It seems buyers are getting impatient and want speedier action. The portal figures are now showing a large increase in telephone traffic. Email and waiting times to be dealt with are not being welcomed. The telephone seems to be the most important tool in selling homes.
KEY WORDS ARE CRUCIAL IN AN A.I. WORLD
The top search words are Garden, Garage, Double Garage, Rural, Cul De Sac and Close to Schools. One of the top words is Annex which shows the popularity of multi-generational living.
