The latest news from JW Wood Estate Agents
A recent survey taken by Home Sale Network amongst its member estate agents has found a shift in the type of buyer entering the market today, compared to 10 years ago. In 2002, the majority (48%) of survey respondents said that the homebuyer population was mostly made up of young buyers entering the market for the very first time, but 10 years on, this figure has dropped to just 1% of respondents indicating so.
Countless buyers are bridging the gap as they trade up to their dreams homes, according to leading estate agent JW Wood. Stability in the market, low interest rates and a return to realistic pricing are seeing buyers benefit when they opt to upgrade to a better house.
