Rightmove have produced some interesting numbers today;

Estate agents’ branches are selling less than one new property a week each and new listings are at the lowest level ever seen.

Just 36,433 properties are currently coming on to Rightmove per week, the lowest recorded in the ten years that the site has been measuring the market.

By contrast, there is a record level of search activity, with 44 million property searches in the first ten days of this year, up 27% on a year ago – but with home-hunters facing … Continue Reading

Miles Shipside, director of Rightmove, recently claimed that the state of the global economy is resulting in house prices in the UK being stuck in “limbo-land” ! Indeed, according to the latest figures from Nationwide, the cost of a typical home dropped by 0.6 per cent in the four-week period.

Chief economist at Nationwide Robert Gardner stated that the figures add up with the relative stability of the market … Continue Reading

If you are intending to move home this year, there are a few things that we feel you ought to know. If you’ve been monitoring the press you will have been getting a fairly confusing picture of what the housing marketing is up to – but the reality is that it is very slow.

Why does this winning formula make us better?

These days, most of us use the internet as our first port of call for key information. Who nowadays gets out the yellow pages? No, you ‘Google it’. TV dinners, apparently, no longer exist being replaced by PC dinners. The fact is that we spend a major part of our lives either glued to a PC screen or an iPad or an iPhone. Internet searching is interwoven into our lives and there is no going back.

More than 90% of all property searches are now completed online. Long gone are the days … Continue Reading

When I talk about House Revolution being an online estate agent, this can be perceived as a negative thing, but the reality is that, whether they like it or not, most estate agents in the land are now online agents.

Why do I say that? Well, as we’ve said many times before, more than 80% of property searches now begin online and 90% of those are on Rightmove. Therefore one of the key selection criteria when choosing your estate agent is do they list their properties on Rightmove?

Rightmove is the biggest online property portal in the UK. Estate agents normally list … Continue Reading
