There is normally a surge in the number of sellers putting property up for sale at the start of the year and we have certainly seen, at Tudor, an increase in the number of new properties coming to the market.
However, overall there are typically fewer people looking to sell in January compared with other years, which is good news for those looking to move now.
Less property on the market means less competition and a greater possibility of selling. Combine this with the fact that the number of mortgage products available passed the 2,500 barrier for the first time since May 2009.
You have the reasons to believe that a higher number of sales are likely to be negotiated.
Certainly as we pass through January we are see higher levels of interest in the new properties we are listing and it is clear purchasers requiring a mortgage are finding more and more choice.
At Tudor we have purchasers in good positions, right across the price range out actively viewing properties and making serious offers.
Our advice has to be to any body wishing to sell, now is a very good time to place your property on the market.
