Our Clarkston branch has had a fantastic year in 2019, showing growth during a time where the number of transactions across the market declined against a backdrop of economic uncertainty. Local knowledge and expertise is still at the heart of what vendors expect from their estate agent and our Clarkston branch sold over 20% more properties in our core G76 postcode than our nearest rival. If we narrow that down to properties sold above £200,000 in G76, we have sold 78% more properties than our nearest rival.
Sales were up 5% for the Clarkston branch in 2019 vs 2018 and we have found that detached and semi-detached Bungalows are performing particularly well within East Renfrewshire with interest from upsizing families and downsizers alike. The majority of these properties have sold at ‘closing dates’, some hitting 15 – 20% above Home Report value!
We have had strong demand for larger homes in the area too. Testament to that was selling out our Riverbank Gardens development in Busby, all selling for £525,000+. The first owner has just moved in!
Our advice is to move now
With the General Election result and an apparent firm Brexit deadline, we predict a shift in buyer behaviour with those who have held off this year making the decision to move. Our advice is to sell first, making the most of market and quantifying your budget for your purchase.
Whatever your plan, the first step would be to have a professional valuation carried out of your home. Should you be thinking of a move we would be delighted to chat with you and advise on the best plan of action moving forward.
