Ashtons has maintained its position as the most effective selling agent in Hertfordshire. Despite early market challenges, increasing buyer activity and improving confidence point to a positive outlook for the remainder of 2026.

Buyer interest remains strong, with close to 10% more buyers registering their searches across Ashtons’ territory compared to the same period in 2025. This uplift reflects renewed momentum, as many who delayed moving earlier in the year are now committing to their next step.

June proved to be the strongest month of the year across second-hand residential sales, lettings, and land and new homes. This surge in activity highlights a clear shift in both buyer and renter sentiment.

While the wider geopolitical outlook remains uncertain, more encouraging inflation and GDP growth forecasts suggest a stable and positive direction for the market. For those considering a move, the next three months present an excellent window of opportunity.
