Dataloft Demand Index: Buyer demand increase!

In this quick snap shot we look at the increase in homebuyer demand in the first quarter of 2021!

  • The Dataloft Demand Index shows a 36% increase in housing market demand since the start of 2021 with the traditional Spring market set to be busier than ever.
  • Demand rose 13% between February and March, with Rightmove reporting sales in the first week of March up 12% year-on-year. The number of buyers enquiring per available property was 34% higher.
  • Lockdown 3 has exacerbated the supply/demand imbalance across the market place currently continuing to support property price growth.
  • But with lockdown restrictions starting to ease and incentives to move, all eyes will now look to whether new supply starts to increase. Source: Dataloft Demand Index, based on visits to agents’ sites displaying Dataloft Inform local insights each week.

Ignore the crash headlines. Attleborough’s market is adjusting, not collapsing. With local unemployment at 2.3% and 46.9% of homes already sold (SSTC), demand remains resilient. Sales take an avrge 87 days—a return to a normal market where pricing is key. It’s a slow adjustment, not a disaster. Discover why the 'supertanker' is simply slowing down.

National headlines can paint a confusing picture of the property market, but the latest July figures reveal a more balanced story. While sales have eased compared with last year, activity remains well ahead of 2023. So what does this mean for Attleborough homeowners thinking of moving in today's more selective market?
