Buckinghamshire November Property Market Update

What’s really happened in 2022 to the property market? The answer might shock you! It really has been a year of two halves. 
 
I’ve seen first hand the impact the 'Mini Budget' has had on the property market. Comparing property prices from the beginning of the year to now, we can see how rising inflation and higher interest rates have affected the prices of properties.
 
Mortgage rates soared in September but now we're starting to see them decline and stabilise, however sadly not to the record lows they once were. Good news is the banks still want to lend money and people still want to buy property. But, what has all of this and the cost of living crisis done to prices? What are properties selling for now?
 
If you are thinking of selling a property, remember the market is all linked. The more expensive your property becomes, the more expensive the one you’ll be buying becomes. That increasing market place is deemed good?! When the market goes the other way and your property becomes cheaper, well exactly the same is true of the next one you’ll be buying. Isn’t that good news?
 
We’re now in a "buyers market” where you will have to do everything possible to maximise your selling price. Therefore, this is where marketing becomes really important. When putting your house on the market, you need to as yourself "Does the marketing include a bespoke video of your home? Are the photos good enough? Who is actually doing the selling or the negotiating on your behalf? Do they know their product?".

It's all the little things that can make the biggest difference to your final price.

Are you contemplating moving home in Warfield during the next 9 months?

The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggest something rather unexpected. After years of worsening affordability, the picture has begun to improve. Wages have risen faster than house prices since 2021, nudging the headline affordability ratios in the right direction. On the face of it, that feels like progress.

For decades, the flat was the natural starting point for many first-time home buyers. The first rung of the ladder. The affordable option. The stepping stone to something bigger. For landlords, it was a dependable investment. For first-time buyers, it was often the only way in.
