Stable demand, restricted supply
10
For the period 11th June – 9th July
Plethora of sold boards restrict choice as buyer demand remains strong
• New seller asking prices up 0.1% (+£312) as we enter quieter holiday season
• Fundamentals remain good mid-year with robust demand, low interest rates and low unemployment:• Sales agreed numbers strong year-to-date in 2017• Highest proportion of properties marked as sold
than at any time in the last seven years• Buyer choice restricted as supply fails to keep pace
with strong sales and buyer demand
• Stretched buyer affordability acting as price brake with national average at +2.8%; buyers very price sensitive and some properties hitting their price ceiling
