The Market

Like any other kind of market, the property market is driven by the constantly shifting balance between supply and demand, which in turn is influenced by a whole range of other factors.

If there is a shortage of properties for sale, then the market will tend to favour sellers, and prices will rise. If, on the other hand, there is a large number of comparable properties for sale and relatively few buyers, then the advantage will lay with them, and prices may start to fall back.

Understanding how the market works, and being able to correctly assess the state of the market at any given time, are crucially important in achieving a successful sale.
