This week’s property market data tells an interesting story.

People are still looking.

They are just not always acting.

There were 𝟯𝟲,𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 listed this week, and year-to-date listings remain well above the pre-Covid average.

So the market is not empty. Sellers are still launching, and buyers are still browsing.

But sales agreed were 𝟭𝟬.𝟳% 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 than the same week last year, and year-to-date sales are now 𝟲% 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱.

That does not mean the market has fallen apart. Sales are still above the pre-Covid average.

But it does show that buyers have more choice, and when buyers have more choice, they often take longer to act.

That is something we are seeing on the ground too.

A property can have good online visibility. People can be looking at it, saving it, comparing it and coming back to it.

But views do not automatically become viewings.

And viewings do not automatically become offers.

With 𝟭𝟯.𝟰% 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘆, and 𝟰𝟱.𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀’ 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗱, the message is clear.

Exposure matters, but it is not enough on its own.

The real challenge is turning attention into action.

That comes from the right price position, strong presentation, proper marketing, clear storytelling and careful follow-up once buyers show interest.

Because in this market, it is not just about being seen.

It is about giving the right buyer a reason to move.

We dug way back into the archive to find this picture of us at Royal Ascot week many years ago (note how Tim is always working 😂).

It's been a while since we went, but it is firmly on the agenda for next year! (Currently we've snuck off for a well-earned break to Portugal).

But who do we know that's at Royal Ascot Ladies Day today? We can't wait to see pictures of hats, outfits, celebrations and merriment! Share your pics ❤️

🏇🎩 Royal Ascot week is here! And honestly, this is one of those times when living in Ascot feels like having a winning ticket before the horses have even left the stalls 🏆✨

Forget fighting your way across half the county, checking train times, panic-booking taxis or wondering if your hat is going to survive the journey. If you live locally, the racecourse is practically on your doorstep 🏡🏇

Morning coffee at home ☕
Pop on something fabulous 👗🎩
Head to the races 🥂
Pretend you understand the form guide 📖👀
Pick a horse because you like the name 🐴
Celebrate like a champion when it places 4th 🍾😂

Royal Ascot is on 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, bringing the racing, the pageantry, the outfits, the hats, the fizz and the occasional “I had a feeling about that one” moment 🐎👑🥂

And the best bit? When the day is done, you’re not heading off on a grand expedition home. You’re just going home. Possibly with sore feet, a lighter wallet and a very strong opinion about millinery 🎩💸🤣

There are lots of reasons people love living in Ascot, but this week is definitely one of the big ones. And boy, do we have some beautiful homes in and around Ascot ... these are just two of our currently available houses, but we have more off-market. Get in touch for more details!

Hats on. Bets placed. Standards high 🏇🎩🥂

✨ The Old Farm, Bracknell is now SOLD (STC), and what a special home this one is ✨

A Grade II listed 15th-century beauty with Tudor beams, Elizabethan brickwork, over 4,200 sq ft of accommodation, 7 bedrooms, a self-contained East Wing, triple garage, beautiful gardens and more character than you can shake a timber beam at.

Homes like this don’t come along very often. They aren’t just houses, they are little pieces of local history, full of stories, quirks, charm and soul.

We’re absolutely delighted for our clients and the lucky buyers who can now become the the next custodians of this incredible home.

If you have a unique, characterful or slightly 'hard to compare' home and you’d like to know how we would approach selling it, we would be very happy to chat.

The latest national property market data for the week ending 𝟳 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 shows a market with plenty of sellers, but more cautious buyers.

Sales agreed were 𝟴.𝟵% 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, which is a shift worth paying attention to. But this is not because the market has gone quiet completely. Sales are still above the 10-year average for this week of the year.

The more interesting point is that 𝟯𝟴,𝟵𝟬𝟬 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸.

So the market is not short of sellers.

The challenge is that buyers have choice, and when buyers have choice, they tend to slow down, compare more, negotiate harder and ignore anything that does not feel quite right.

That is probably why price reductions are still above normal levels, with 𝟭𝟯.𝟰% 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗞 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘆, compared with a longer-term average of 𝟭𝟬.𝟳%.

Our view?

This is not a market where sellers can rely on buyer urgency doing all the work.

Your home needs to create urgency.

That comes from the right price, position, strong presentation, proper storytelling, good photography, video, confident follow-up and a launch that makes buyers feel they may miss out if they sit on their hands.

Because at the moment, the buyers are there.

They just need a reason to move.

The latest national property market data for the week ending 𝟯𝟭 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 shows a market that dipped slightly, but not one that has suddenly fallen apart.

This was the late May Bank Holiday week, so lower activity was expected.

The more important message is that the wider market is still moving. Year-to-date sales agreed remain above the 2017-19 average, and buyers are still active.

However, pricing pressure remains very real. 𝟭𝟯.𝟰% 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗞 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘆, which is higher than the longer-term average.

Our view?

This is not a bad market. It is a selective one.

The right homes, with the right price, presentation and marketing strategy, are still selling.

But hopeful pricing and average marketing are being exposed.
