According to Estate Agent Today, Miles Shipside the Commercial Director at Rightmove has announced that they have had their biggest ever day - which is newsworthy, because it comes in the middle of the summer holiday and in the middle of a recession.
Already feeling suspicious, it turns out their second best day was last March, when very little was happening in the property market. So are people just window-shopping? We know from anecdotal evidence that people are buying again. More people seem to be buying this year than last year and there is definitely little stock in many areas in many several price ranges, although we are starting to see an increase in properties coming to the market.
Equally you could argue that everyone is checking up on their house price by browsing house prices for other homes in the neighbourhood. As for us, Manse and Garret Property Buyers Agents are still forcasting a few bargains before Christmas, and we’re not convinced there will be a genuine surge in house prices in most parts of London, any time soon.
