2015 House prices ?

[blade7]

Looking to make the next move and have registered with all the local estate agents, was speaking to one guy that has been an EA for 30 years that seemed genuine, he said he's never seen a market like this where houses sell almost immediately at asking price. Plenty of cash buyers too apparently. Will prices probably keep rising or stall over winter ?

Around 25-30 miles from us just into Northamptonshire comparable houses are £30-50k less, not sure why that is. Mrs doesn't fancy the commute in winter though.

Put my late father in laws house on the market recently.

It was valued by one agent at £320k ish and by another with more local experience at offers in excess of £375k. Four viewings on an open day resulted in three offers the highest of which was £387k.

If you had gone with the £320k agent I wonder if one of their mates/relatives would have bought it...

Looked at a 2 year old place around 20 miles south of P,boro last weekend, on at £350k which is £80k up in 2 years one of several things I wasn't impressed by was the plastic fake chimney.

15% pa rise nr P'boro ? I'd rather stay where I am than give someone there £80k for doing nothing for 2 years.
