Properties Fly Off The Shelves
In the UK property market, speed is the name of the game. The latest data reveals an exciting trend: homes are selling faster than ever before. From Yorkshire and the Humber to the North West, properties are being snapped up at a record pace, even within a week of listing. Let's delve into the details of this trend and what it means for buyers and sellers.
Speedy Sales: A Nationwide Phenomenon
- Selling in Less Than 28 Days: A staggering 78% of agents in the latest Dataloft subscriber poll have reported that homes are selling in less than 28 days once listed. This indicates a thriving market and a competitive environment for buyers.
- A Week or Less: Remarkably, 22% of agents state that the majority of homes are selling in less than a week, and Zoopla reports this figure is currently at its highest ever level.
- A Record Low: The average time taken to sell a property across the UK in April is a record low of 45 days, a marked improvement over the April average of 62 days from 2015 to 2019.
Regional Insights
- Hotspots: Properties are currently selling quickest in Yorkshire and the Humber and the North West. These areas are witnessing property price growth that exceeds the national average, creating a hotspot for rapid sales.
- London's Longer Wait: Despite the national trend, homes in London are taking the longest to sell, averaging 57 days.
