Goodbye 2019. Here comes 2020…
And here are our predictions for the property market for the coming 12 months:
A year where uncertainty becomes certainty, a year where dithering and delay become a time for action. A year where homeowners who weren’t sure become sure and a year where the need for homes and the need for relocation drive the property market as they should, rather than outside unrelated forces. 
What does this all mean for the homeowner on the ground? Essentially it will mean more choice when shopping around for a new home, more confidence when going on sale or renting and more positive decisions leading to an all round healthy market.
All of this coupled with continued record low interest rates is excellent news. If you are thinking of moving in 2020, then traditionally January quickly becomes a busy time with lots of activity. This continues into Spring with February, March and April being 3 of the busiest months of the year, usually with activity only slowing down during the school summer holidays, purely for logistical reasons with many families away on holiday.
If you are selling, please bear in mind that once a buyer is found the legal process takes up to around 3 months to complete, so taking steps sooner rather than later is advisable. If you want to start the ball rolling then please call our office for a free market appraisal of your property. Our expert consultants can advise on any essential preparations prior to marketing and answer any other questions you may have about the process in general. Call us today to book an appointment.
In the meantime, from everyone at Elizabeth Davenport Estate Agents please do have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We look forward to working with you in 2020.
