Hook a new home

• March is typically one of the strongest months for sellers to spring into action. This year there has been a higher amount of supply coming to the market, taking competition in the sales market to a 10-year high.

• Although new spring buyers are unlikely to meet this month’s stamp duty deadline, they will have access to the widest selection of properties at this time of year since 2015.

• Over half (52%) of agents report that supply in the sales market has increased compared to three months ago.

• Sellers must price competitively to achieve a sale, with affordability remaining stretched in some markets and buyers being spoilt for choice. Source: Dataloft by PriceHubble (poll of subscribers), Rightmove March 2025
