Market your property now in preparation for the festive flurry of home searches
09 December, 2021In the run up to Christmas, our Haslemere team are busy registering applicants who are keen to buy or rent property in the town and surrounding villages. Demand currently outstrips supply and if you are planning to sell or let a property, we recommend that you take advantage of the local market conditions.
Get ahead with Seymours
We can ready your property for market to ensure it receives maximum exposure over the busy festive period. For Rightmove, one of the UK’s leading property portals, Boxing Day marks the start of the 2022 home-buying season.*
Joss Cooper, co-owner of our Haslemere office said: “Year-on-year, Rightmove data shows us that more people are browsing properties during the post-Christmas Day festive period. Looking at the latest data we can see that Boxing Day visits to the portal were 54% higher in 2020 than the previous year.
“There were also more than 51 million visits to Rightmove between Boxing Day and the first working day of the new year. All of the properties that we market are showcased across Rightmove and other leading portals including On The Market, so they are sure to be viewed by a high volume of potential buyers over the coming weeks.”
Property Industry Forecasts
Our sales and lettings experts keep up to date with all of the latest industry data, trends, and forecasts so that we can provide our clients with the most relevant advice going into 2022.
2021 was a bumper year for sales and the average price of a property has increased significantly with many South East based agents, including Seymours Haslemere, experiencing double-digit annual price growth. While we anticipate price growth will ease over the coming months, there is a predicted growth of 3.0% across the South East during 2022.**
The lettings market was particularly competitive this year and according to Dataloft, record demand and a shortage of properties have seen rental values rising at their strongest pace since the spring of 2017. As with sales, rental values are also predicted to increase by 3% next year.
How much is your property worth?
Based on industry forecasts, the 2022 property market will be more moderate than in 2021. However, with price increases predicted and continued demand for Haslemere property, there is nothing to hold you back from marketing your property.
