After a shaky start to the year the market has stabilised, with a degree of new reality on pricing. We have experienced a more positive summer season and vendors who have embraced current pricing have been well placed to sell. We have seen a good number of sales over this period and some competitive bidding in the more popular price bands while properties over £1 million remain challenging largely due to macro-economic factors, oh and also the machinations of Rachel from accounts.
There is no doubt that the high values of the post Covid rollercoaster are over, and one only has to see the regular price reductions on the property portals to see this “adjustment” in action. Whilst there is no harm in being “enthusiastic” with the guide price to see what the market will support, selling is about time and money – if you have plenty of both then you can afford to wait for the market to agree, if you are short of either you need to cut your cloth accordingly.
Realistic pricing helps to achieve sales within a manageable timescale, which is worth remembering if you are trying to link an onward purchase.
