Zoopla has confirmed that sales agreed are 1% ahead of last year - it has at times seemed far worse. That growth comes despite a 10% drop in buyer numbers. First-time buyers are still with us. Amazing, really, when you think about what we’ve put them through.

At the Alto AI launch yesterday, their tagline 'ready to feel like an agent again?' hit home with a roomful of estate agents who feel bogged down by increasing rules and regulations. Exciting times.

The oil crisis isn’t good for anyone but if building costs rise as house prices fall, who will build homes that make no profit? Ironic that lower prices will mean fewer homes.

Corbyn, Green Party and unions to march for Rent Controls. Good idea or...?

The market is showing real grit. March saw first-time buyers take a 34% share: the highest in 20 years. Supply is at an 11-year high. More choice. Despite the headlines, the market wasmoving. #PropertyMarket #FirstTimeBuyer

Property markets fluctuate. Clients don’t need confident waffle or estate agent hype. They need calm honesty. Admitting you don’t have every answer.

PropertyWire reports 1 in 5 property sales now take 6 months - it was 2 months in 2010. I’ve watched this creep up and desensitise us to the crazy situation. We’ve just accepted the inadequate. If the process were faster, more people would move.

X is unique. My timeline is Trump/WW3 and boomers versus Gen Z arguing about house prices and pensions, both accusing eachother of being luckier. What a place.

Post-Easter improvement incoming... Longer days and the race to move before the September school term are going to drive activity. It’s more subdued than we’d like, but the trend will move upward.
