GREEN SHOOTS ! ?

We have had an incredible start to the week ( an estate agent would say that !). We have agreed quite a few sales and are still negotiating hard ! It would be great if I could announce the housing market is on the road to recovery but unfortunately this would be premature. All the sales we are agreeing are at prices at least 15% less than they would have been twelve months ago. I think vendors are starting to understand where market values lie and there are obviously people out there with the confidence to buy. There is no doubt that for those with a healthy deposit there are some really incredible mortgage deals and the opportunity to fix at very low interest rates. I hope these deals will start to tempt the potential purchasers who are in the fortunate position of being able to trade up to a larger property.
