2023 – A ‘later developing year?’

There is a later seasonal peak to our market in 2023 compared to the 2 previous years as we felt the crest in late May compared to March in 2021 & 2022.

Metrics remain below the 10 year average sales 15.6% below and listings now only 14.4% below. This shows a bit of a ‘narrowing of the gap’ compared to recent previous months.

The sales and listings graphs below show listing levels had pretty much peaked and were beginning to decline in the previous 2 years but this year they appear to still be increasing.

It is interesting to reflect on 2023 being ‘seasonally 2 months later’ than previous 2 years:

  • what has caused it?
  • how will it affect the market for the rest of the year?

I am here to arm you with the best information and give my professional advice so you can make the best decisions to help yourself move forward!
