June is typically always a busy month for home-buying, and despite the 2023 property landscape having proved anything but conventional, the summer selling season looks set to be predictably buoyant, with market activity relatively unruffled by recent economic events.
In stark contrast to the early year predictions, Braxton Estate Agents in Maidenhead have recorded an 80% increase in new property listings since January, with a 43% uptick in web traffic also suggesting that there is more appetite for home moving in this corner of the commuter belt, than forecasts predicted would be the case at the start of the year.
Keen to take this seasonal market opportunity at its flood, Maidenhead’s motivated sellers are helping bolster the stock of available homes in this area - an example of which is this one bedroom apartment (main photograph above), located in an exclusive gated development in the sought after River area of Maidenhead. The property provides approx. 710 sq/ft of living space, and features a a large open plan kitchen/dining/living room with direct access out onto a balcony.
Summary
As it stands, the property market seems to have found some much-needed stability, and just in time for the summer selling season.
It goes without saying, that higher-than-normal mortgage rates and cost of living pressures are still curbing a significant proportion of buyer movement. However, for many buyers, the financial curveballs are counterbalanced by the environment of more choice and less competition that has emerged, and the leverage it provides to negotiate the best deals…on the best properties.
