If youโ€™re Googling any of these right now: โ€œWhy am I getting viewings but no offers?โ€ โ€œWhat does buyer feedback really mean?โ€ โ€œIs my house overpriced or just badly marketed?โ€ Youโ€™re not alone, and youโ€™re right to ask. Because when buyers are walking in, nodding politelyโ€ฆ and then vanishing or worse giving 'naff' offers, somethingโ€™s misaligned.

Most agents list your home on Rightmove and Zoopla then wait. At Avocado Property, we do more. Our #BeatThePortals strategy builds interest before launch with targeted marketing, warm buyer outreach, and social buzz. The result? More viewings, better offers, and less time on the market.

As the summer draws to a close, itโ€™s time for your September 2025 Reading Market Update, where I share everything you need to know about the latest property trends across RG1, RG2, RG30 and RG31.
