The beautiful weather and a plethora of bank holidays have affected the seasonal influx of new property to the market. Sellers have only very recently put their properties on the market which is about a month behind the normal pattern.

The Cornish market is stable and property has a good chance of selling as long as it is realistically priced.

From the Buyer’s point of view it is a mixed market. For those special one off properties there remains significant competition making it necessary to be either first to hear about it or in a position to outbid. Family homes are in quite strong demand with a steady flow of people moving small businesses into the County. Land suitable for the development of a single property is still highly sought after particularly in special locations, often achieving high prices but occasionally over valued in anticipation of high demand.

Currently there are significant numbers of properties at the middle and upper end of the market that are not being marketed publicly. Some are available through Agents but for specific reasons are not being promoted via website etc. Many are property owners planning to sell in the next twelve to eighteen months who come to Stacks for independent advice on which Agents to approach when they are ready to sell.
