Correctly priced properties are nearly twice as likely to be Sold Subject to Contract within four months of listing than those that have had their asking price reduced, 63% and 32% respectively.
It is estimated that around 16% of properties currently on the market have experienced a price reduction, properties reduced on average by 5% from their initial asking price.
Although sales volumes have risen since the market reopened, transactions in August up over 15% on July (HMRC), volumes remain lower than a year ago.
