The housing market

[goats]

How are estate agents surviving at the moment? Driving or walking through the the streets of Cardiff I hardly see any houses for sale these days, always used to be a fair few, partic around roath, Heath, penylan, birchgrove.....barely anything for the last 6 months and seems what is available is inflated.....how long can this go on?

Houses are being sold with no need to advertise.

Estate agents have a waiting list for bungalows in Rhiwbina

No need to advertise? I know of a bungalow in cyncoed walking distance to lakeside primary and in Cardiff high catchment that has taken 18 months to sell, and they had to drop 40,000 of it then.....

Obviously over priced, every house is selling in weeks unless they are overpricing.

So how are they surviving if people are going word of mouth and saving a bit off the price?

I take it you don’t understand “WAITING LIST”

Way out, it means people who are looking for bungalows in Rhiwbina, are registering with estate agents and as said bungalows become available, being sold by a simple phone call.

A friend of mine, Karen, waited about 8 months to get hers, moved in 6 months ago, a customer of mine, Mr xxxxx, actually agreed to buying one without seeing it. Splott Parker can verify this, as he worked on it as well.

Advertising boards are not needed.

Brexit came at the perfect time for the housing market which was, in my opinions of overheating too quickly.

There are lots of people renting accommodation out rather than selling. Every week there are loads of properties being newley advertised for rent.
I have been watching this market for the last 2 years and there is only 1 area of Cardiff I have never seen a house or flat offered for rent. Can anyone guess where. There area is quite specific.

Well maybe people are waiting to move to all the new suburbs currently being built in the west and north east of the city....hope they like traffic jams....
