It is somehow difficult to distinguish in today’s market what is fact and what is wishful thinking, that is why we are bringing you three fact-based realities that you need to consider if you are looking into making a property move in Clydebank and surrounding areas this year.

Sold! Sold! Sold!

Our Clydebank office has seen a 50% increase in the number of sales agreed in January 2020 compared to the year before, according to statistics from property portal Rightmove. This is a rather significant increase, showing many buyers returned from their winter break determined to put their property plans into action. The first month of 2020 is not even closed yet and we already see a flurry of activity on the local property market, mostly driven by keen buyers who are ready for a property move. Such an active January month usually signals a good year for property transactions with buyers showing confidence in the stability of the market.

Flat numbers for available stock

The favourable conditions for sellers are further enhanced by the fact that the actual available stock stayed much at the same level as 2019. A vacuum of available property for sale, which has become a reality in the last few years is about to become even more obvious if buyers continue to fuel demand at the same rate. With not enough property coming to the market, the competition for available stock will continue to increase. This context makes it a fantastic opportunity to sell property, so do not delay your plans.

Active, vetted buyers are looking for property now

We have many active buyers viewing and placing offers on the available property, so it is well worth having a conversation with our team early in your sales process. A good example is this beautiful Dumbarton flat that came to the market in January and had a record 36 viewings, with a Closing Date set for the 4th of February 2020, noon.

Another great example of the local activity level is this family home in Old Kilpatrick that SOLD at Closing Date with several offers received and high demand for similar properties.
