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
