Despite negative newspaper headlines, Chris ‘Property Stato' Watkin and Iain White discuss the state of last week's Property Market in YouTube weekly Show, “The UK Property Market Stats Show”.
Even with the economic challenges, the number of properties marked as "Sale Agreed” ie marked as Sold stc last week was 2.8% higher than the weekly average for 2023.
However, the Sale Fall Thru rates continue to rise, with the current weekly rate at 27.93%, surpassing the 25% threshold for the third consecutive week. While this Sale fall Thru rate is not as high as the levels seen in Q4 2022 (when it averaged 38.7% per week), both said it was important to monitor this upward trend closely.
Listings, Price Reductions, House Sales Agreed and Price Reductions are analysed both nationally and regionally in the ‘UK Property Market Stats Show’ and Estate Agency bosses and their teams need to do with this data to ensure they are advising their vendors correctly and secure the the right kind of stock to get the property sold and get paid for the hard job they do.
