What this means locally in Thorpe St Andrew.
Buyers have more choice and more negotiating power than they did a few years ago. Homes are still selling in Thorpe St Andrew, but buyers are taking their time and comparing properties carefully.
Pricing is becoming increasingly important. Around a third of listings are requiring a price adjustment, which suggests that sellers who launch too ambitiously risk losing valuable early interest.
The gap between asking prices and achieved prices matters. An attractive launch price does not mean giving a property away; it means positioning it where the right buyers will actually find and view it.
Properties are taking around 13 weeks to secure a buyer on average. Well-presented, sensibly priced homes can still move considerably faster.
The rental market remains comparatively strong. Tenant demand is supporting rents, particularly for good two, three and four-bedroom family homes.
Landlords continue to benefit from rising rents, although purchase price, financing costs, compliance and property condition all need to be considered when assessing a potential investment.
