Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire & East Oxfordshire property market comment March/ April 2011
With the worst of the winter weather now behind us, the property stock levels traditionally increase noticeably over the coming weeks, however, as in 2010, it looks likely that the dearth of stock will continue in Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and East Oxfordshire. Estate agents are conducting good levels of market appraisals for would-be sellers however there seems to be a lack of commitment from owners to place their property on the open market. As a result we are seeing more properties being advertised ‘privately’ where only the buyers in the best purchasing position are being informed of these ‘off market’ homes.
The London market is certainly performing well with a high number of potential buyers for each home on the market ensuring that strong prices are being achieved, particularly on houses. This strong showing in the London property market will have a knock on effect to the surrounding counties in the coming months which is a good indicator for buyers in the home counties to purchase now if they want to avoid stronger competition for houses later in the year.
