Strong Housing Market in the Coming Months
Overview
Spring traditionally marks the season when the housing market gains momentum. This year, a rising number of buyers and sales agreements suggest a robust market ahead.
London Leading the Charge
City bonuses have given London’s housing market a significant boost. Large properties are selling rapidly, often through sealed bids, with one example attracting an impressive 33 offers. Growth initially seen in prime London areas is spreading across the capital.
London continues to drive national house price increases, with values up 1.2% over the month and more than 3% in the last quarter. In contrast, areas outside southern England have seen growth of less than 0.5% over the same period.
Supply and Demand Dynamics
The strong performance in London is a result of the ongoing disparity between available homes and increasing demand. According to the Hometrack index, the number of homes for sale rose by 14% last quarter, while demand surged over 50%. Rising incomes, low interest rates, steady employment, and growing immigration contribute to this demand. However, new construction still lags behind.
On the supply side, estate agents report a slight increase in homes for sale, as sellers react to rising prices. Yet, supply remains relatively low. Despite high buyer interest, elevated prices are likely to temper demand, suggesting activities could return to average levels in the coming months.
Expert Insight
Ed Stansfield from Capital Economics remarks, "There is still a strong appetite for purchasing at these high prices, and banks are eager to lend. As long as interest rates stay low, the market should remain stable."
Overall, the housing market appears poised for strength in the coming months, with London at the forefront of growth.
