The average asking price of a house in Britain has hit a new record, pushing over the £360,000 mark, according to website Rightmove
"The high speed of the market and competition among buyers when making an onward move will be deterring some owners from putting their homes up for sale.
"2021 saw four consecutive monthly price records from April through to July and I would not bet against that being bettered this year as we are already at three consecutive records in April.Tim Bannister from Rightmove: Properties 'moving really quickly' "However incredibly, buyer inquiries are still 65% above the more normal market of 2019 and the number of sales agreed is up 21%."
"It seems likely that the supply/demand mismatch will remain for at least the rest of this year. Even with some economic uncertainty, where you live and your home is such a fundamental decision for people that it will remain a priority for many.
