Our latest market reports are here – click the links to find out more.
This autumn, the housing market is showing steady growth. Across the UK, prices are up by 3.7% on last year, with the West Midlands rising by 3.5% and the North West performing even stronger at 5%.
We’re also seeing more buyers coming to the market. Sales are up 4.3% nationally, and locally agreed sales have jumped 7% in the West Midlands and 10% in the North West.
Autumn is always a busy time, with activity typically rising by 17% as people return from summer and look to move before Christmas — and that’s exactly what we’re seeing right now.
Getting the price right is key. Homes priced correctly are selling in around 32 days, while those needing a reduction are taking over three times as long — around 99 days.
Helping this momentum is the recent interest rate cut. The Bank of England base rate is now at 4%, the lowest for over two years, with some mortgage deals available from as little as 3.7%. That’s giving buyers and sellers a real boost in confidence.
And finally, here’s a quick snapshot of average local prices: Stafford sits at £246,000, Newcastle-under-Lyme at £197,000, the Staffordshire Moorlands around £210,000, and Cheshire East, including Nantwich, at just under £292,000.
So overall, the outlook is steady, activity is rising, and pricing your home right remains the key to moving successfully this autumn
