Even despite the anxiety around a second wave of Covid-19 infections, the property market continues to recover from the lockdown period. While transaction numbers have been down by around 25 to 30%, property prices have remained very strong. A lack of property on the market supports strong prices as there is a lot of pent up buyer demand. Winter is always a time of lower listing numbers so we feel confident that properties that list to sell at this time will continue to perform very strongly. The easing of restrictions around open for inspections and auctions are encouraging buyers further.

Across our local market, we have seen 2,124 properties listed for sale, over the past 12 months, which is lower than the same time last year.
