The property market in Reading has been dynamic, with fluctuations that reflect both the strength and vulnerabilities of the region. This report aims to provide a comprehensive view of the current state of the market, covering both sales and rentals.
Rightmove reports that it takes approximately 150 days (21.5 weeks) on average to move house (from offer accepted to completion day) in 2022, which means that half of all purchases take even longer than 150 days. Let's take a look at our current WhiteKnight statistics, which probably shows why so many of our vendors appreciate the marketing effort we put into getting sale agreed status:-

Analysis
The rental market is still very active, with 126 new instructions in the past two weeks. The average rent stands at a substantial £2,052, which could be indicative of the area’s increasing desirability or possibly a lack of supply driving up prices. With most landlords being private individuals who are aged 55 and above, it's important for agents to consider the demographics when tailoring their services.
