Its officially the first day of Spring, the sun is up, traditionally the time to find a new home.
Should the February housung stats worry us?
In my opinion NO.
I realise we are in this country totally preoccupied with the weather so the fact that house prices dropped 1% due to snow, seems laughable, however....
If its freezing cold, your car is slipping across the road, and you have to stumple up paths covered in snow, would that not deter you from looking at houses!!
Also the withdrawal of the free stamp duty up to 125K had a negative effect.
I genuinly think this was a blip, we have had 10 months of growth, the economy went up .3% rather then .1%, and order books for many companies are filling.
If your a librarian today then I guess if you are in public sector jobs you may want to wait to see what April delivers. otherwise its a great time to buy a house.
Estate Agents are busy, houses will now get on to the market and deals are coming back.
You still however need a 10% deposit.
Great time for First time buyers to finally get that home you have always wanted, and dump the landlord.
