Ticking over, but not really getting out of 3rd gear
Doesn't help when the media start on again today that the UK may be falling back into recession. Perhaps if they published some positive views on the economy it would help. It doesn't make it any better, but most industries are the same, no matter what the media says! The housing market is at a low, yet all the so called property experts say it is moving.....got news for them no it isn't!
We have been on the market some while now (no luck as yet) so we keep track of what is going on in our area.Checked at the start of the week the whole price range of this area and with way over 1000 properties available only 13 had sold stc (not completed) in the last 14 days. I don't call that busy, especially when there must be 40 odd Estate agencies. A local builder to us is "ticking" over, but nothing great to speak of and many more types of trade aswell. A bit gloomy, but to take a positive from this....if we can all keep going through this, which we will, look how easy it will be when the economy has recovered.
