Monthly Market Update: June 2023
Welcome to Fraser Estates' monthly market update for June 2023, where we provide you with the latest insights and trends in the real estate market.
In this edition, we'll discuss the current state of the property market, the types of buyers registering, mortgage rates, and inflation. We also have an accompanying video featuring Rob Brady, Director of Fraser Estates, who will share valuable information and tips. So, let's dive into the market update!
The property market continues to show strength and resilience. Despite initial concerns about the pandemic's impact, demand for properties remains high. Sellers can expect favourable conditions, with competitive prices and a healthy number of buyers in the market. At Fraser Estates, we advise potential sellers to take advantage of our Heads Up Property Alerts feature, which allows you to view properties before they are listed on platforms like Rightmove. This gives you a head start and ensures you don't miss out on any fantastic opportunities.
We have observed a diverse range of buyers in the market, each with unique preferences and requirements. Firstly, we are seeing an increase in first-time buyers, taking advantage of low mortgage rates and government initiatives aimed at making homeownership more accessible. Additionally, we've noticed a rise in families looking to upsize, seeking larger properties with more outdoor space. Finally, we have a steady flow of investors, both domestic and international, looking for buy-to-let opportunities. Understanding the buyer demographics can help sellers tailor their marketing strategies accordingly.
Mortgage rates remain at historically low levels, which is excellent news for both buyers and sellers. This accessibility to low-cost borrowing creates a favourable environment for transactions and encourages buyer confidence. At Fraser Estates, we work closely with trusted mortgage advisors who can guide you through the process and help secure the best rates available.
Inflation has been a topic of concern recently, with rising prices across various sectors. While inflation impacts the economy as a whole, the real estate market has shown resilience in the face of these challenges. Property values have continued to rise steadily, and homeownership remains a sound investment. Moreover, property tends to be an excellent hedge against inflation, making it an attractive option for both buyers and investors.
