If you own or rent property in Attleborough, tracking price trends matters. One useful indicator is the average price paid over the last 12 months, updated monthly.

This article looks beyond forecasts and headlines to examine the real drivers of the local market, focusing on supply, demand, and affordability to understand what may lie ahead.

Property markets are powered by confidence, and with mortgage rates easing and lenders competing again, sentiment is shifting. That change in mood is starting to matter.
