With the turbulent state of international politics and current economic uncertainty, the national property market can feel like a minefield. To help you make an informed decision which is best for you, here are some things to keep in mind about the Tameside property market:
The average sale price for properties in Stockport over the past 12 months is £193.397, which is a 3% increase in annual sales prices and a 37% rise in sales prices over the past 5 years*.
Across the country, the pace of house price growth is beginning to slow, and with ongoing global political and economic instability, the outlook remains uncertain. This is reflected in the Tameside property market, with high levels of demand driving prices up. However, buyers are becoming more cautious and opting for affordability over location and condition.
The overall message we have for prospective sellers is that now is the time to do so! The market is hot, and spring is historically when we see the highest level of activity. Although the future is uncertain, it doesn’t look set to improve with the possibility of interest rates falling and stamp duty coming into effect. Now is the time to sell.
