21% increase in property demand since the start of 2021

Are you currently looking to buy but finding yourself getting pipped to the post, or a certain type of property is not coming on the market?

The Dataloft Demand Index shows a 21% increase in housing market demand since the start of 2021.

More people than ever are using the new year as a chance to think about moving house.

According to Rightmove, the number of prospective buyers contacting agents in January is 7% higher than a year earlier and enquiries about a property to rent are 14% higher.

Zoopla reported the flow of new supply onto the market in the first 2 weeks of 2021 to be down -12%.

An imbalance between demand and supply can put upward pressure on house prices.

With the lockdown in full flow it certainly is having a knock on effect with property listings, as people are shielding, home-schooling or even worried about having strangers in their homes.

With the latest roadmap to get us out of lockdown, this will hopefully start to see things balance out.

At Butler Residential we take your safety very seriously that's why we wear masks and gloves and provide them to prospective buyers when viewing your home.

One of the biggest things we can offer is our time, so if you are worried about clashing with your own personal work commitments or children's school work, then we are flexible with our valuation appointments and are more than happy to come during the evening.
