After a challenging period marked by economic uncertainties and fluctuating mortgage rates, the UK property market is witnessing a renaissance this spring, fuelled by a significant surge in home listings. As homeowners across England gain renewed confidence, the surge in available properties is igniting optimism and presenting promising prospects for both sellers and buyers alike.
The property landscape has taken an encouraging turn in the first quarter of 2024, according to the latest research by eXp UK. The data reveals a remarkable 9.2% increase in for-sale stock levels across the English property market, indicating that sellers are proactively capitalising on the improving market conditions.
But the positive momentum doesn't stop there. The current stock levels have soared a staggering 15.6% compared to the same period last year, a clear testament to the growing number of homeowners seizing the opportunity to embark on their next chapter.
Growing confidence in the housing market
This upswing in available properties signifies a resurgence of confidence among sellers, who were previously deterred by the subdued market activity fuelled by higher mortgage rates. With a renewed sense of optimism, homeowners are now embracing the chance to unlock the potential value of their properties and explore new horizons.
For prospective buyers, this influx of listings translates into a wider array of choices and increased flexibility in finding their dream homes. The heightened competition among sellers could also result in more favourable pricing and negotiation opportunities, making the prospect of homeownership more attainable for many.
The spring revival in the property market is not just a fleeting trend; it represents a pivotal moment for both sellers and buyers to seize the advantages of a dynamic market.
We help Huddersfield homeowners sell their home
Homeowners who have been contemplating a move now have a prime opportunity to list their properties and potentially secure a rewarding sale, while buyers can benefit from the increased supply and potential for more attractive deals.
Adam Day is the head of eXp UK and he has spoken about this topic, saying: “Agents across the nation will have been hard at work, building a strong pipeline of for sale stock ahead of the seasonal spring surge in market activity. However, it’s fair to say that this uplift in the number of homes listed for sale also demonstrates the improving health of the property market when compared to the more subdued landscape of last year.”
Adam Day continued by saying: “With buyer appetites dented by higher mortgage rates, many sellers had chosen to sit tight with respect to their sale, particularly in the face of cooling house prices. But now that we’ve seen a consistent increase in both mortgage approval levels and house prices during the start of this year, they are rapidly returning to capitalise on these returning market conditions.”
As the market continues to thrive, it is essential for homeowners and buyers alike to stay informed and seek guidance from trusted real estate professionals.

"When Alethea came to value the house straight away and the property was on the market within days. The process was well explained, the staff were friendly and communication was great. The house was sold in one month. The fee was a fixed fee which we were more than happy with and there were no unexpected add on's. Highly Recommended!"
