Snellers’ Market comment for the first quarter of 2009

Sales

There's no doubt the last six months of last year were quieter than we'd like - but we anticipate early 2009 brining with it a new feeling of optimism and vibrancy to the housing market.

Sneller's Sales Director Steve Millis commented: "With continuing low interest rates there's no doubt that building societies will start passing on more competitive rates to borrowers, which will give the market a shot in the arm.

"And while we're not expecting to see any real signs of prices starting to climb in 2009, we will on the other hand see some stabilisation in house prices occuring."

Home-owners have a better understanding of the market and more realistic expectations about  their sale price than say, six months ago, he said. This means that sales are generally progressing faster and more smoothly.

"Often it's not about how much owners can sell their house for, but whether or not they can buy their next property within the budget they have set themselves. So no matter the sales price, it's about the price differential keeping them within their budget."

Lettings

Over the last few months here at Snellers Lettings we have experienced an increase in the number of good quality tenants looking to secure two to three years tenancies. This is great news for landlords as this length of tenancy significantly redues their potential empty periods.

Lettings Director Phil Truss added: "As we've been around for such a long time in the area - 80 years this year - the company has also built up strong local business connections, which helps us source the best corporate lettings clients around.

"And with rental returns being high due to sale prices stabilising, as well as increased demand for lettings properties, means all these factors add up to a very healthy lettings position for Snellers' landlords for early 2009."

So whether you're thinking of letting your property now or later this year, it's a great time to be letting - get started by calling your nearest Snellers' lettings office on one of the numbers on the home page.
