I turn work down.

If somebody wants a price I can't stand behind, I'd rather they went somewhere else. That sounds like a boast. It isn't. It's the only way this works.

I can only run so many houses properly at once. Properly means I've seen it, I know it, I'm the one on the phone when the survey throws something up at half five on a Thursday. Take on twice as many and every one of them gets half the attention, and you'd never know, because the ones that fail just come off the market in January and nobody writes about them.

So the honest version of a personal agent is somebody with a limit. If I say yes to your house I'm saying I've got room for it, and if I've told you a number lower than the one you wanted, that's the same conversation from the other side.

If you’d like an honest, expert valuation or advice on preparing your property for market in Park Street, Bricket Wood or Chiswell Green, I’d love to help.

Autumn is ten weeks long.

Autumn's the shortest useful season in this job. About ten weeks between the schools going back and everyone deciding it'll keep till the new year. Anything completing before Christmas is being agreed right about now.

The conditions are odd and worth understanding. Record stock, so buyers have more to pick from than at any point since 2014. Normal demand, with net sales this year within half a per cent of last year and ahead of where things sat before the pandemic. And achieved prices per square foot at a seven year high, which tells you the money's still there for anything priced where a buyer recognises it.

So the homes that go in the next few weeks are the ones that launched at a number nobody had to argue with, in front of people who need to move rather than people having a look. Everything else joins the pile that comes off in January and has another go in spring, a season older and no better priced.

Christmas gets decided in September.

There's a moment about eleven on Christmas morning where whoever moved in October ends up in a doorway with a cup of tea, watching a room full of people in a house that belonged to a stranger in August.

That's what people mean when they say they want to be in for Christmas. Nobody's ever meant the completion statement.

Which is why it gets settled now. Agree a sale mid September and you've got about fifteen weeks, and the average sale eats most of them. Leave it till half term and you need a quick conveyancer, a short chain and a lender in a generous mood, and those three have never once turned up on the same day.

The other thing about autumn is the crowd. Holidays done, kids back, and the people looking now are looking because they've got to move. Not because it's raining and they fancy a nosey round your kitchen.

If you want to be in for Christmas you're already later than you think.

Asking prices are falling.

Asking prices dropped two per cent in August, biggest August fall in eight years, and it got reported like the floor going. Here's what nobody put in the headline.

An asking price is a hope. A selling price is a signature. Price per square foot on homes that exchanged is at the highest it's been in the seven years anyone's tracked it, £340 and climbing. Price per square foot on new listings has been sliding for months and is now £381. Those two lines are walking towards each other, and only one of them was ever money.

So buyers haven't stopped paying. They've stopped paying for optimism. There are 767,000 homes on the market, most since 2014, and somebody can skip yours and see eleven others before lunch. Getting the price right on day one isn't caving in. It's how you get in the room.
