Home-buyers will have more choice in 2023

Boxing Day traditionally signals the start of the housing market beginning to get busier into spring, after a quieter December while people enjoy the festivities. Our property expert, Tim Bannister, says:

“Boxing Day is traditionally the start of activity ramping up into January and the spring selling season after Christmas, as people return to their search or consider a New Year move. We’ve seen some promising activity and familiar patterns over the festive period this year, which are good signs for the year ahead.”

This Boxing Day, we saw a record number of people choosing to put their homes up for sale, 46% more than on the same day in 2021. Tim says these sellers who got a head start and have their home already up for sale will now be benefitting from the jump in viewings over the next few weeks, as people settle back into their usual routines.
