This past month we are seeing the market confidence continue to improve.
Although there are economic factors that are restricting further growth and a slower pace in the market, normal activity much like pre pandemic 2019 is happening.
Agreed sales volumes nearly match March 2019 now although things are a little less frenetic, and the property media are building things back up and warning buyers to not wait around too long.
Homes are selling 12 days quicker than they did in 2019.
Although its harder for first time buyers to enter the marketplace, the sector is 11% higher in activity than it was in the same period in 2019, illustrating the strong desire to own property, understandable given the competitive rental market and soaring rents.
With falling mortgage rates over the past month through lender competition, many more buyers expected to return to the marketplace as well.
