Maldon Property Market Update - April 2022

Maldon Property Market Update - April 2022

It's time to look back at another month in the local housing market to see whether the market is finally seeing more available properties entering the market.

Are there finally signs of increased stock levels?


For the last few months it has been a common theme that the local market has seen a huge decrease of available stock. There are signs though that this could be changing with new listings up 6% in April compared to March.

When compared to April 2021 we are still 20% down on what came for sale the same time last year though.

I want to move this year but can't find. Shall I sell first?

If moving is starting to feel more realistic, September is a useful time to prepare. Understanding your budget, priorities and local property search now could make things much easier when the right home appears.

A home that suited you perfectly a few years ago may not necessarily meet your needs today. Families grow, working arrangements change and priorities evolve. What once felt like the ideal property can gradually become less practical as your lifestyle develops. For some homeowners, the solution may be to make adjustments to their existing property. For others, moving could offer the space, location or flexibility they are looking for. As the year draws to a close, it can be a useful time to reflect on whether your current home still works for you and consider what you might want from your next chapter.

A new government scheme could help first-time buyers purchase with a deposit of just 2.5%. With more details expected at the October Budget, here’s what prospective buyers need to know.

A move often starts long before a property is officially listed. If selling within the next few months is becoming a realistic possibility, September is a good time to work out what needs to happen first.
