Haydock October Property Market Update: A Slower Month but Opportunities Await!

This October, the Haydock property market saw 27 new homes come to market in the past four weeks. However, only 11% of these properties received offers, a noticeable drop compared to previous months.

What’s Behind the Slowdown?


We believe this slowdown is partly due to overvaluation by other estate agents and sellers testing the waters with inflated prices. Evidence of this is clear, as 15 homes have been reduced this month, suggesting that buyers are cautious about overpaying.

Despite the market slowdown, THINK Estate Agents has been helping sellers secure over-asking-price offers before their homes even officially hit the market. This month, we’ve done just that for two sellers by using strategic marketing and tapping into our extensive buyer network.
