The autumn market is beginning to gather pace, creating new opportunities for homeowners considering a move in Bridgnorth and the surrounding area.
Rightmove’s latest House Price Index shows that the average asking price of newly listed homes rose by 0.7% in September to £367,440. This marks the first monthly increase since May and is slightly stronger than the ten-year average September rise of 0.5%.
However, buyers still have plenty of choice. The number of homes available for sale is at a 12-year high, while buyer demand and sales agreed remain 9% lower than this time last year. This means sellers in Bridgnorth need to be realistic when bringing their property to market.
Pricing is particularly important: 74% of homes sold so far this year were priced correctly from the outset without requiring a later reduction. With homes currently taking an average of 64 days to find a buyer, strong presentation and an attractive initial asking price can help a property stand out.
For those thinking of selling in Bridgnorth, the traditional autumn uplift could bring renewed interest, but getting the price and presentation right from day one remains key.
