The property sales market remained buoyant during November with the volume of sales and listings continuing to run well above 2019 levels.  We achieved more sales than any other agent covering the Perthshire area, selling 31 properties in locations such as Perth, Scone, Luncarty, Almondbank, Bridge of Earn, St Madoes, Auchterarder and Crieff.  Flats accounted for just under half of sales, whilst the majority of house sales were for bungalows.  Demand remained high with 16% of sales going to closing dates and buyers willing to pay premium prices for the “perfect” property.  77% of sales achieved full asking price or above, generating an average profit over asking price of £7,292 per client. 

The lettings market was also busy with strong demand for good quality houses in desirable areas.  We secured tenants for 2 large houses in Scone within a week of hitting the market and these types of properties are achieving good rents.

It has been a hectic 18 months for the property market since the end of the first lockdown.  The net result as we approach the start of 2022 is a lack of available properties, yet ongoing strong buyer and tenant demand.  Typically, the market naturally slows in the lead up to Christmas, then rises sharply in the new year as households use the holiday period to make a decision around making a move.  Indeed, the property portals record a boom in the number of people searching for property online during Boxing Day. 

For those thinking about selling or renting a property in the new year, December is a great time to contact us for expert advice on how to prepare your property for listing at the start of 2022 and get ahead of the competition.

"Chose PPP as I was impressed with Cara's approach when viewing a property being sold by Premier.

Marketing was professional and prompt.  Property well advertised, gaining maximum exposure.  First class communication, everyone I spoke to on the telephone or face to face was able to answer queries.  Professional, friendly, not pushy.  Relieved that someone else was taking the strain and I could trust them.

Most definitely recommend, takes away a lot of the stress involved in house selling and gives a buffer between buyer and seller, so you don't get drawn into personal involvement."
