Property website feels downturn |

Miles Shipside, commercial director of Rightmove, said some sellers had reduced their asking price by 10%, which had flushed out buyers. "Some homebuyers are now able to find properties that have fallen into their affordability zone, and are bagging what they see as bargains against previous prices," he said.
The survey found clear signs of a pick-up in activity in January, with the amount of time a property spent on the market declining from a record high of 98 days in December to 95 days. The number of visits to the site was up 20% in the first two weeks of the year compared with the same period last year. It said the price fall over the month was exacerbated by the glut of smaller homes that came on to the market before the mid-December deadline for providing home information packs. |
