Looking over the data this week, we were hoping to see more signs of encouragement for the property market ... and we're pleased to say that things do seem to be improving.

The market is still behind last year's exceptional levels, but ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ฝ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ% ๐˜๐—ผ ๐Ÿฑ.๐Ÿฎ% over the course of July.

That's a meaningful improvement.

The challenge is that there are still more than ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿณ,๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜ across the UK, around ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ,๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ผ.

So while buyers are active, they're also spoilt for choice.

From our own perspective, we're still seeing enquiry levels below where they were earlier this year, so that national improvement hasn't fully reached Berkshire just yet.

But for the first time in a while, the overall direction feels positive.

If this momentum continues through August, September could shape up to be a very interesting month indeed.

This weekโ€™s figures tell a much more positive story than the headlines might suggest.

Nationally, agreed sales in July were still ๐Ÿฑ.๐Ÿฎ% ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—๐˜‚๐—น๐˜† ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ, but thatโ€™s actually an improvement because the market had been running around ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ% ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ since Easter.

Even more encouraging, ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜, despite us being in the middle of the school holidays.

Thereโ€™s another statistic that really stood out to us.

Compared with ๐—๐˜‚๐—น๐˜† ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฏ, agreed sales are actually ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฏ.๐Ÿฒ% ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ.

So this doesnโ€™t feel like a market in trouble. It feels like a market thatโ€™s gradually finding its feet after an exceptionally busy 2025.

Weโ€™re not seeing that improvement locally just yet. Buyer enquiries into our office this July are still around ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฌ% ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ than they were in July last year and compared with May and June this year.

That may simply reflect distractions like the World Cup, Wimbledon, Henley Regatta, school holidays and the usual summer slowdown.

The next few weeks will be fascinating.

If these national trends continue into September, we should be looking at a much stronger autumn market.

๐ŸŒพ Weekend mornings are best spent out in the open โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿพ

There is nothing quite like swapping the fast pace of the week for a slow, sun-drenched stroll through the great British countryside ... fresh air, wide-open fields, and the very best company.

With Amber leading the way, we love finding new places to pause and take in a good view ๐Ÿ•
