480,000 new homes have come onto the UK market already this year. That is 18.2% higher than the 2017 to 2019 average. More choice than buyers have seen for over a decade.
The media is reporting this as bad news. "More competition between sellers." "Buyers have more power." As if helping the people trying to move home in this country is somehow the wrong outcome.
Here is the reframe. More supply means more activity. More activity means more moves. More moves means more people getting on with their lives. For sellers, yes, it means the marketing and pricing has to be right. But it also means the buyers are there, they are active, and the ones who are properly prepared are completing.
321,000 homes have been sold subject to contract in 2026 so far, 15.3% above pre-Covid norms. This is not a market that has stopped working. It is a market that has stopped tolerating complacency.
I help families in Halstead and the surrounding villages, move home with a proper plan. In this market that plan matters more than ever, which means the outcome for those who get it right is better than ever too.

that "stale" listing actually a hidden gem? 💎

We’ve all seen that one house. It’s been on the market for 3 months, the photos look great, but it’s still sitting there. Why?

It’s the "Sold Price Gap." 📉

Right now, we’re seeing a tug-of-war between 2023 expectations and 2026 reality. A lot of sellers are holding out for "peak" prices, while buyers are navigating higher living costs.

The Truth: If a house has been sitting for 90 days, it usually doesn’t have a foundation problem—it has a pricing problem.

For Buyers: This is your leverage! A "stale" listing is often an invitation to negotiate.
For Sellers: Pricing correctly in week 1 is better than chasing the market down for 4 months.

What do you think? Would you offer on a house that’s been sitting for months, or does it make you nervous?

🚨 MORTGAGE UPDATE THAT COULD SAVE YOU THOUSANDS 🚨

Big news for anyone buying a home or coming to the end of their mortgage deal – the Bank of England just cut rates, and average fixed rates are now the lowest they’ve been in THREE years!

✅ Two-year fixes averaging 4.78%
✅ Five-year fixes at 4.87%
✅ Lenders like Landbay are even throwing in free valuations
✅ If you earn good money and need a bigger loan (£500k+), the deals are EVEN better

The best bit? Wages are now going up faster than house prices, so getting on the ladder or moving up is more affordable than it’s been in ages.

If your mortgage ends in the next 6 months – DO NOT leave it to the last minute. Rates won’t stay this low forever once more people start buying!
