Market Comment 27/04/2012
News Flash…The Royal Cornwall Show (7-9 June 2012) is a fantastic opportunity for anyone contemplating a house move to, from, or within Cornwall, to meet a huge variety of relevant service suppliers in a relaxed environment. Everyone from Estate agents to green energy consultants, holiday let companies to architects, lawyers to surveyors will be there. Nicola Oddy, Regional Director of Stacks Property Search Cornwall office will be on our stand in our usual spot at the top of the main ring (Stand No. 349). Come and talk to us!
The market in Cornwall has picked up rapidly since Easter. There is now a better stock of property available and still plenty being prepared to come to the market. The biggest issue for the buyer remains that the most sought after properties are still selling very quickly indeed and are holding their value. Any buyer who views their perfect home and decides to take their time or start with a low offer is likely to be sorely disappointed when someone else snaps it up.
We saw an increase last year in people leaving built up areas elsewhere in the UK, to bring family and small businesses to Cornwall. The popularity of this lifestyle choice looks likely to continue, having a significant impact on the demand for family homes.
There was no sign of unusually high levels of second homes coming to the market early in the Spring indicating that properties with the “wow factor” are likely to continue to hold their value relative to the rest of the market.
