Quick snap shot:
The property market is so regional at the moment, that quoting or commenting on 'average statistics' is pointless. To work out what's really happening in the market, if you are buying or selling, you need to know the market for your type of property on the street you are looking to buy/sell in. Read our regional report below to understand what's happening in your area!

What's Happening in my Area?
"Property markets" really operate within a three mile radius as 80% of people buy property locally (in most areas) so national stats don't really help us understand what's happening in our own area.
In fact what we are seeing is probably the biggest difference regionally than we've ever seen. This is shown by For Sale Sign Analysis's data which tracks the number of properties sold versus for sale.
