As Emy has stated. If 200+ NEW registrations are coming to an agent, from new buyers each month, roughly HALF the entire population would be registering each year with agents.
Well no, if there are 700,000 properties available at any one time it would require 2.8m registered buyers at any one time to = 4 registered buyers per 1 house listed.
I am not sure where the idea that these all had to be new potential buyers per month as the article does not say that.
Unless emy is saying 700,00 houses go on to the market each month???????????????0 -
There are dozens of EAs in the town where I live. I'm registered with ten of them. If everyone was doing that, then 4 registrations per house would mean two and a half houses per actual buyer.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Mentioned it on another thread, bu I know someone who was 8th out of 10 bids on a property last week.
That's 10 people bidding on one property :eek::wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

Isn't this what Riona is suggesting in her/his 18/21 new houses after 3 months but 750 new buyers?0 -
Meanwhile hundreds of properties remain unsold since 2008, can't tell for sure if never had an offer, but they've never moved to SSTC, let alone completed...
Its swing and roundabouts.0 -
House hunters out in force..............
Aye, with 40% of the funding available it's a pity the majority won't be able to buy anything.:D0 -
That's exactly my attitude, Conrad.
It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, but it seems the bear camp on this forum is full of dwarfs. At least over on HPC a few giants are admitting defeat and buying houses. In a couple of years time in their own homes, they'll wonder why they made such a song and dance about house prices.
A certain section just cannot exist without an impending doom accompanying thier journey through time and space.
It's almost as if there must be a Darwinian imperative that a certain section of EVERY generation expects monumental distaster.
The Puritans railed against modern society and told thier followers to come with them to a new promised land (N America), to leave behind a 'decaying' England.0 -

Still the fact filtering goes on - will you ever grow out of it?
Here on the front line plenty of people are using thier parents 'free' equity to get on board.
The Human will always finds a way:D0
