Houses numbered 13 are unlucky for sellers but could be a bargain for house hunters, analysts say!

Whilst many estate agents view themselves as part of the 'property business', simply selling and renting out buildings and land, we at Ashtons see it differently.

As January draws to a close, we are able to get a flavour of what’s in store for the local property market this year. According to data recently released by HM Revenue and Customs, sales dipped by 3% in December 2022 when compared with November the same year. However, 101,920 homes were sold last month, a figure 1% higher than this time 2 years ago.

It’s safe to say that Hertfordshire has a reputation for being one of the most expensive counties in the UK to buy a property. Combining rich history, with high-achieving schools, leafy streets and proximity to both the capital and beautiful countryside, many of the affluent towns of our home county are often ranked among the top places to live in the UK, skyrocketing both their popularity and house prices.

Throughout much of 2021, we have watched the average asking price of a home continue to rise, with huge buyer demand pushing up prices. But even after a demanding Autumn period, the lead-up to Christmas usually means a quieter housing market, impacting asking prices nationwide

There’s no doubt about it, Hertfordshire is home to some of the most desirable locations to live in the UK. With beautiful countryside, fantastic commuter links to the city and premium housing stock, there is no shortage of demand across the county.
