March Market Update: Newton & Haydock Property Market
In the ever-evolving landscape of the property market, Newton and Haydock have both witnessed intriguing developments over the past month. As we transition into spring, the dynamics of buying and selling homes in these areas have shown distinct patterns worth noting.
Newton: Accelerated Sales Pace
In Newton, the past four weeks have seen a notable shift in the property market dynamics. While there has been a slight decrease in the number of new homes hitting the market compared to February, the rate at which these homes are being sold has significantly accelerated. With 28 new listings introduced, down from 42 in the previous month, it's evident that buyer demand is on the rise.
What's particularly striking is that 17 out of these 28 new listings have already been sold, indicating a considerable uptick in buyer activity compared to the previous month's 12 sales. This surge in demand is also reflected in the decreasing average time to secure a buyer, dropping to 71 days according to Rightmove stats, with THINK Estate Agents boasting an even swifter average of just 49 days.
This trend underscores the effectiveness of THINK Estate Agents' 9-step process in securing premium prices for sellers. Despite a slight increase in price reductions, likely due to sellers' varying expectations and the current market dynamics, the overall sentiment in the Newton property market is one of buoyancy and confidence.
With 91 new buyers signing up for property alerts in the past four weeks, there's a clear indication of growing interest and activity in the area. Sellers contemplating listing their properties can take advantage of this burgeoning demand, potentially finding their ideal buyer sooner rather than later.
Haydock: Similar Trends with Elevated Listings
Meanwhile, in Haydock, the property market echoes a similar narrative of heightened activity albeit with a higher volume of properties listed. With 25 new homes entering the market in the past four weeks, compared to 19 in the previous period, there's a palpable sense of momentum building.
Of these newly listed properties, an impressive 15 are already under offer, indicating a robust demand from prospective buyers. However, it's worth noting the slight increase in price reductions, signaling a need for sellers to remain realistic and flexible in their pricing strategies.
As we approach the spring season, traditionally a bustling period in the property market, the prospects for both Newton and Haydock look promising. With brighter days ahead and gardens coming into bloom, now could indeed be an opportune time for those considering a move.
