The record-breaking start to the year reported by Rightmove early in the month was sustained across all of January, with the website recording over 211 million visits from home-movers, a record for this time of year. This is great news for anyone looking to sell or let their home, as despite various lockdowns and restrictions the housing market remains strong.
The property portal has reported visits to the website are up by 39% on January 2020, with over six million daily visits to the site, and the number of people contacting estate agents about a property to buy was up by 7% on January last year.
In the rental market the increase in demand is even higher, with 14% more prospective tenants looking for a property to rent than this time last year.
Andrew Barry, Peter Alan Managing Director, commented, “The local property market is very active at the moment with more people than ever having started the New Year with a plan to move home. As we head into the spring period, which is traditionally one of our busiest times of the year, potential buyers will be out in force looking for a new home. We’re advising home owners to get their property on the market now and take advantage of the high demand for homes – sellers are in a strong position to achieve a good price and a quick sale.”
