No let up in sales activity

No let up in sales activity

We take a quick look at the start of the property market in 2022 which shows no sign of slowing up as figures suggest

  • The property market is busy, with the start of 2022 seeing no slowdown in sales activity.
  • Nearly 107,000 sales were recorded in January. Except for 2021, this is the strongest start to a year since 2007 and up 10% on the January average (2012–2021).
  • Demand continues to outpace supply, sustaining pressure on prices. Rightmove report the biggest monthly jump in the asking price of newly- listed property since 1994.
  • In a sign of more balance returning in future months, home valuation requests were up 27% in January year-on-year, and up 50% compared to 2020 (Rightmove).
