| Christmas Newsletter – Latest Market News |
| First let me offer you a warm greeting from Next Home and we do hope you have a safe wonderful Christmas time with your family and friends. This is a recap on the market this year to bring you all up to speed with the current market trends. Here at Next Home, we have been hectic, since the reopening of the market so many moons ago, there have been record numbers of buyers looking in the market compared to available stock. This has meant Property prices have been on the increase! We have seen the average sale time reduce from 32 days to 12 days in some months and averagely our clients have been receiving up to 10% over their original asking price. The one thing we have been looking for is more stock to satisfy these large numbers of buyers ready to go. |
 |
| The outer lying areas such as Pitlochry, Birnam, Dunkeld and Aberfeldy have seen huge price jumps. In Pitlochry alone we saw our clients receiving almost £60,000 over the asking price on average during the summer. We think the strong demand here is due to a mix of lock down fever in the cities, escaping their concrete jungles into the beautiful countryside and a lot of people realising they can work from home and can now live outside the usual commuter belt. Have our lives changed forever? |
 |
| The rest of Perthshire has been also moving nicely with a huge demand for family housing, especially 2-3 bedrooms around the £150,000-£200,000 mark. Even the high-end properties above £500,000 have been moving as supply dropped but demand did not! We have seen in city centre locations an increase in the demand for apartments from investors and first-time buyers which is great news. There were quite a few 1–2-bedroom apartments taking a little longer to sell but coming into December these seem to be moving nicely. |
 |
| Again, there still has been no better time to buy even if the prices are slightly up. Our Mortgage products available have made buying your home very affordable. Our Mortgage teams across Perthshire have never been so busy helping hundreds of new buyers into their first home. Why wouldn’t you with interest rates so low. |
 |
| A huge question on everyone’s lips coming into Christmas is should I contact Next home now regarding the sale of my property or wait until next year? |
Ashley Thomson our head of Property gives some helpful tips We now have an opportunity to get ourselves organised before the new year. Here at Next home, we already have 20 or so clients set up and ready to go for launch after the 3rd of January. We have organised their marketing and Home Reports and have started to match hot buyers to their homes ready to get a head start on the competition in January. This helps them enormously by taking away the worries of planning after New year. |
|
| My advice would be to make contact now, lock in your free home report promotion in December saving you hundreds of pounds. Let us do the hard work and you can relax over Christmas. We will be here throughout the festive season, so don’t worry about getting in touch. We've never been busier with 10 sales already in the first few days in December and the buyers keep coming. Call or email anytime, we would love to give you the very best advice in the market on when and how to maximise your property sale. So, from all the team at Next Home Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you again for making us your choice when it comes to buying and selling homes. |

“I was recommended by a friend who had used them before. Also doing my own research online and seeing the presence they had regarding the marketing of property for sale. I'm very happy with the excellent service provided by the team in the lead up to, and during the marketing of my property. All of the staff I dealt with were great. Kenny in particular was very helpful in explaining the process, and in responding to all queries I had prior to and during the marketing of my property. I was very happy with the price achieved, and the speed at which the property was able to be put on the market and I would recommend Next Home to anyone looking to sell their property in the local area"

“I chose Next home because I went through the mortgage team to buy the property and everything was very smooth. With their marketing exposure they were able to get many buyers through the door and achieve a higher price than what I was expecting and very quickly. From Next Home to Next Law I would say thank you to everyone involved and I would recommend anyone who is thinking of selling to contact them.
