2021 forecast: 4% price growth as housing priorities outweigh uncertainties

The Rightmove House Price Index was released to the media this morning and gives a national picture of house prices and activity over the past few weeks.

Rightmove forecasts robust 4% national average price growth in 2021 as housing priorities stay high on people’s life agendas, though price rises for newly marketed properties will be at a slower pace than this year
2020’s unanticipated market momentum sees prices finish 6.6% up on 2019 despite a fall of 0.6% this month
Busy Q1 expected as stamp duty deadline approaches, with logjam of 650,000 properties currently changing hands – this huge number is unchanged on last month due to strong sales agreed for this time of year
Slower Q2 as average tax saving of 1.9% of purchase price in Great Britain due to end, but ongoing demand and cheap mortgage rates available for some will help to support continued modest price growth

Uncertainties remain in 2021, but housing needs and fresh-start mentality suggest the market will continue to outperform, as shown by 53% more prospective buyers contacting estate agents than at this time a year ago

Percentage % Chance of Moving / Saleability

Saleability is about more than just securing an offer—it’s the journey from listing to handing over the keys. Higher-value homes often face smaller buyer pools, tougher lending checks, and longer chains, which can make completion harder. Success lies in preparation: realistic pricing, organised paperwork, and clear communication to keep the process

Why Attleborough Homeowners Need to Pay Attention to This Pricing Gap

If you’re planning to sell your home in Attleborough, there’s a truth you can’t ignore: not every property makes it from “For Sale” to “Sold.” While some homes attract buyers quickly, others linger and quietly disappear from the market.
