More sales, prices rise as activity builds in the property market
With a significant increase in property listings, the rise in the total number of properties sold, and an increase in the median sale price, some buyers are holding out for the ‘right’ property while others are getting ‘into the market’ before competition rises as investors return.
This buoyancy is a positive sign that we haven’t seen for a while.
