Moving to a new home may seem like a daunting prospect, but it’s one of the most exciting things you can do. When you take into account the current market conditions and the wide range of options available to you, there are several reasons why now is the perfect time to make your dream move. Property prices have stabilised One of the main reasons that now is an excellent time to move to a new home is that property price inflation has stabilised. In the past 12 months, property prices have fallen 1.2% on average, compared to a 7.2% increase the previous year.** This demonstrates that buyer affordability has increased, allowing people to find a home they love at a reasonable price. Our partner, Embrace Financial Services, have helpful, qualified mortgage advisers available who can tell you how much you can borrow and what the costs are. *
There are plenty of properties available
Another reason why now is a great time to move is because there are a wide variety of properties available on the market. The annual average number of homes for sale is the highest it has been in six years, with 34% more homes available than there were in the previous year. As a result of this, the average estate agency branch now has 31 homes for sale, giving buyers a wide range of choices.** With more options at their disposal, buyers are able to carefully consider the price, location, size, and amenities of a property before making a decision.
Moving doesn’t take long
Many people are put off moving to a new home because they think it will take a long time, but this is not necessarily the case. On average, it takes just 34 days to sell a home in the UK.** This figure shows how high the demand for properties really is, which is great news for sellers, and it also means there is a reduced waiting time for buyers. The amount of time it currently takes to sell a property shows that the market is fast-paced while still remaining stable, which makes now a great time to move.
Because the market is moving quickly, it is highly advisable to get a valuation carried out on your own property as soon as possible if you are thinking of moving. The team of local property experts at Your Move are very experienced and on-hand to give friendly, helpful advice about the whole moving process, including an up-to-date valuation of your own home.
