OzzMosiz Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'm seeing a lot more properties on where I live (and they've all moved up in price) but a hell of a lot less rental properties (except for flats- loads of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Is it just me or are there suddenly a lot more properties on the market....(Middlesex) not in Bristol, in fact i just had a shock as in the last few moths i've been keeping an eye on how many properties are for sale for £150k and less and it's gone from 1200 properties to just over 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverInflated Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 There are loads for sale where I am, which kind of goes against what the estate agents have been saying. 2-3 years ago they sold so quick they couldn't fill a double page spread with the properties, now they have to pick and choose which ones appear in the news paper and some have been forsale for so long they dont bother to advertise them anymore.

Um_Bongo Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 The small town that I keep an eye on has got more properties on rightmove now than at any time over the last year. I also usually work out the median asking price and over the last few weeks it has come down from 150K to 137K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorant Steve Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'm looking for a new rental and it is shocking what people ask...£2000 for a 4 bed not even double glassed, 1800 for a 3 bed bungalow with no garden, 1500 for a 3bed but the kitchen is from 1950...whats wrong with those people? Nothing - if they can find tenants. Renting with a family, unless you can secure a decent longterm place, is a nightmare of packing, unpacking, mail redirection, bank account details, broadband connection etc etc etc. Then there's the school run issues if you have to move too far.

Leonard Hatred Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Seemingly lots of supply in ST5 but enough demand to take it up. ST3 and ST7 have pretty good supply but is evidently much slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to pay the mortgage somehow... A couple of months' void and this particular route to staying solvent will be crossed off the panic list.

KpjComp Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 For a couple of months I've been using right-move to see what the trend on supply is like, every now and again I'll do a localized search, see how many properties are available. This is what I've got so far. 17-01-07 166 18-01-07 165 13-02-07 155 14-03-07 169 22-03-07 161 Now my search excludes Under Offers, & I've notised a few come under offer past couple of days on my Fav's. But a lot of them just end up coming back on again. Maybe it's people putting an offer on, only to find they cannot get the mortgage. So far I'd say it was staying the same. Btw., I'm located North East UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farcical Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 not in Bristol, in fact i just had a shock as in the last few moths i've been keeping an eye on how many properties are for sale for £150k and less and it's gone from 1200 properties to just over 500 I would agree - nothing on the market in Bristol at this price and it all seems to be going like hot cakes - still money for old rope here!!

You do ignore anything that doesn't fit your view of the world. FindAProperty are in a declared war with RightMove and are signing up agents at a rate of knots. In which case you would expect their numbers to increase. You mentioned they have signed up one of the big corporates but seem to blithely ignore this. FindAProperty only launched last year and are growing fast. They offer essentially the same service as RightMove but for about a quarter of the price and they are not owned by Estate Agents. Estate Agents are signing up. So, let's ignore your ranting and distortion of any figures you can lay hands on. Where I live the market seems pretty normal. In January it looked like it might be a sticky start to the year, now most of the signs seem to have Sold on them. I do sense there is less property on the market but, like you, have no real idea. The number of properties being sold - according to Land Registry figures - which are, admittedly, a bit out of date - are remarkably high considering the price of property. So do stop pouncing on any and every figure and trying to twist it to support your views. I have been coming here, in one guise or another, for a long time. You are beginning to sound like a nutcase. If, as the more dedicated here believe, this site is occasionaly visited by journalists and Snowball, reading the stuff you post would convince them this site is a soap-box for lunatics. You are not doing this site any favours. Do you have a life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
