I was reeled in like a kipper. At least it didn't go down. Early on in the week there was a strange drop in available of about 60 and then it was back the next day. I guess some EA removed and readded. So the 7 and 14 day are not as high as they look. Based on previous weeks I guess we won't see a decent jump until after half term. Again most I see come on is expensive 4 plus detached houses which are still at COVID prices. 1243 available 2582 inc sstc. 7 day 186, 193 14 day 339, 369

Not as big a jump as I had hoped but at least it is on the up. Hopefully the 14 day will breech 400 soon. A neighbour's house had seemed to be "sold" a couple of months ago but appears to have been registered with a didn't agent. When charging agents do you need to have a period of time in-between? I'm not sure it ever went SSTC. 1241 available 2572 inc sstc. 7 day 184, 193 14 day 316, 350

1229 available 2532 inc sstc. 7 day 158, 164 14 day 279, 296 Right then, finally back on the up with a decent increase hopefully not another false dawn. This is the highest available total since pre COVID I believe. I don't think there has been a big increase in stuff coming on and it is perhaps more are now not selling. Hopefully it will be over 1300 in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping it will be 2000 this year, it has never been above 1800 as far as I remember. Still no obvious lowering of ceiling prices even though there are plenty of reductions.

1194 available 2493 inc sstc. 7 day 133, 136 14 day 305, 327 Lowest 7 day by a decent amount since Christmas/new year

1207 available 2501 inc sstc. 7 day 193, 196 14 day 358, 387 Still no selling rush around here.

1213 available 2509 inc sstc. 7 day 198, 208 14 day 318, 350 Back up a bit, probably just a post school holiday catch up.

I had thought it would be up for end of term but I was wrong. 1185 available 2454 inc sstc. 7 day 146, 149 14 day 297, 319 The only good news is that one of the areas and house types I keep an eye on. Has had (although only one) a place reduced to 290k. That type is/was often on for 325k, I haven't seen one below 300 for years now.

Same old, same old. 1199 available 2460 inc sstc. 7 day 172 178 14 day 309, 328

Update on the graph

1196 available 2441 inc sstc. 7 day 156, 159 14 day 320, 348 Down by a reasonable amount... I wonder if the estate agents have been holding off for a while and we will get an end of term surge.

Good to hear it is interesting or useful to others too. Sadly this week is flat again. 1215 available 2442 inc sstc. 7 day 188, 198 14 day 335, 369

1217 available 2415 inc sstc. 7 day 180, 187 14 day 336, 375 Creeping up at least. The increase for the week came on Thursday and was up to 1220. It use to be every Friday was the big increase for the week, but there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern anymore. Assuming prices don't seem to be obviously falling still unfortunately.

1200 available 2417 inc sstc. 7 day 185, 200 14 day 315, 357 Meh...

1190 available 2362 inc sstc. 7 day 161 164 14 day 306, 330 Hmm things starting to slide down... When is the spring increase supposed to happen?

1200 available 2405 inc sstc. 7 day 174 180 14 day 348, 369 Flat again. A few near where I live have gone sold after being on for several months. I guess they finally decided to take whatever lower offer that came a long. A neighbour's has been on since early December at 290k, dropped to 280k mid Jan and a few days ago 275k. Interestingly the for sale board has now gone up (yesterday).

Back in the right direction at least, if not by much. Quite a bit of a drop on the overall listings Inc SSTC, I wonder why. 1199 available 2408 inc sstc. 7 day 193 198 14 day 355, 379

1189 available 2432 inc sstc. 7 day 183, 191 14 day 321, 360 Still stalling it seems. Decent amount coming on and being reduced but they appear to be still going. Asking prices for types of property in areas I look at more closely are not getting lower, I think, and reductions are for high end 4 need detached+ or kite flyers.

1197 available 2442 inc sstc. 7 day 172 182 14 day 354, 386 Decent increase again, nothing out of the ordinary though. Prices don't appear to be going down, at least not obvious enough from just observing.

A duff week in terms of available but there is a decent amount still coming on everyday nowadays, which didn't happen last couple of years in my opinion. It often seemed that there would a couple of good days before. It just appears that sales are still good. 1171 available 2435 inc sstc. 7 day 199 207 14 day 317, 349

1176 available 2407 inc sstc. 7 day 152 155 14 day 341, 360 Significant drop off in the number coming on this week, but a lot fewer reductions than the the last couple of weeks. Still at least it is going up

👍 The big drop off in total listings from around early October 2022 to the end of December I find interesting. Considering how out of sync it was with available I wonder what factors are at play other than the obvious just things completing. Is one that buyers are asking for listings be removed when they make an offer and sellers are obliging more than before.

1160 available 2382 inc sstc. 7 day 213, 215 14 day 343, 359 Highest 7 day since tracking the 7 day and 14 day numbers and by a decent amount. I think only once did it go over 200 over the whole of last year. Here's hoping that this isn't a one off and it gets even higher.

A steady stream came on everyday so it is looking to be a good start to the year. Back up to end of November sort of numbers already. 1083 available 2313 inc sstc. 7 day 144, 149 14 day 309, 322

EA's first day back in the office after new year, 57 in the last 24 hours. Not as decent as boxing Day but not bad. I expect a quiet rest of the week, but hopefully I will be wrong. 1060 available 2310 inc sstc. 7 day 75, 78 14 day 245, 251
