I am seeing increasing signs that many properties are just not selling. Apart from my own house, which has still not attracted any buyer despite two price cuts, I am getting feedback from a number of sources that potential buyers are becoming increasingly worried about an imminent crash. The number of properties on sale in my village is disappearingly small, compared with, say, 18 - 24 months ago. Several houses have been on sale for 6 - 9 months. My own property has been on the market since the end of March, whereas exactly the same style of property as mine typically sold within a week or ten days of coming on to the market.
Now I have had occasion to speak to agents further afield, and yesterday one in Lincolnshire (on the coast) admitted that the market had become much quieter in recent weeks.
So, it looks like I shall have to reduce the price again in order to attract reluctant buyers for my property.
