Buyers have their eye on the calendar
As we have mentioned in several recent posts, there seems to be a growing sense of urgency among some of the home buyers we are dealing with at the moment. Clearly there is a percentage of the buying public that are highly motivated to secure their next home before the end of the year, including some who have already sold their existing homes and are keen to avoid the short-term rental market as a stop-gap over the holiday period.
This time pressure has impacted on some of the results our team have achieved recently, which has seen smiles on the faces of many of our vendors.
Among our recent results were:
