2021 is set to be one of the busiest sales years in over a decade

Agents report the sales to stock ratio across the East of England is at a record high (RICS). At 3.7%, the annual rate of housing stock turnover across Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk is above the UK average. Levels currently exceed 4% in the most active markets.

Price growth strengthens

Although new instructions to the market have improved slightly in recent weeks, demand continues to outpace supply, placing sustained pressure on prices. Month-on-month average property prices are rising in all regions of the UK.

Year-on-year price growth across the East of England is substantially stronger than the 0.4% recorded this time a year ago (UKHPI). Double-digit annual price growth is evident in six local areas in the Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk region.

A seller’s market

Market activity is fast-paced. According to Rightmove, the average time taken to sell a property in the East of England is 43 days. The proportion of properties selling within their first week of listing is at a record high (Zoopla) and the average time taken to sell a property in the UK is nearly three weeks quicker than in April 2019 (Rightmove). Lifestyle change continues to drive demand, buyers also aided by the extension of elements of tax relief and the new 95% government-backed mortgage guarantee scheme, available on either new or resale properties.

Having gone through Stevens estate agents for renting out a property and also selling a property I cannot recommend them enough. They are very efficient at answering questions and they ensured the sale of my property proceeded as quickly as possible making sure I was always kept up to date.

The landlord service is fantastic too and they maintained the rented out property so I didn’t need to get involved even when problems did arise .

A fantastic , professional team who are always so helpful.

The team were really responsive to queries that we had regarding our purchase. Having dealt with a number of Estate Agents in the past I would rate Stevens as one of the best that we've worked with. Hannah was excellent at keeping us informed throughout.

Very thorough service, all queries promptly followed up and some additional small requests for instance dealing with house clearance and cleaning (because the sellers were not local) undertaken without additional charge.

A trouble free transaction, much appreciated.
