Anyone else experiencing a lull

in new properties coming on the market?

I've been looking for over a year now (had 3 places fall through) and the last fortnight, I've noticed a lot of the places 'for sale' have been on the market for the entire year - and new stuff is at a trickle

Wondering if anyone else was noticing this?

    Regular supplies of new for sale on my rightmove searches.
    Not as much as I thought there might be though.

    Many places *still* for sale some serious time on.
    Some houses removed from rightmove but still not sold... assume they're trying different methods.

    One tiny street of about 20 houses now has 4 for sale. :) Nice price reductions though if you have property bee.

    AND some nice very low offers being advertised on the repo ads.

    Yes, I've noticed a lot of EA's taking property off.... only to have it pop back up with another agent a few days later.

    Not in the areas I'm looking, seems to be at least one new property a day for several months now.

    I've had more EA price reduction emails through in the last fortnight than I have in the last 10 months - prices definitely on the way down in my price range. :T
