Estate agents “encouraging” monthly increases in house sales



I was delighted to read in the East Anglian Daily Times last Tuesday an article headed “Estate Agents hale “encouraging” monthly increases in house sales”.

The article by Katie Dodd and Matt Gaw, reporters at the East Anglian Daily Times, said that the housing market in Suffolk has witnessed a “significant upturn” last month according to us estate agents.

Latest figures released from the National Association of Estate Agents reveal another monthly increase in the average number of house sales.

As owner and Managing Director of Jonathan Waters Estate Agents, I was delighted with the article for three, quite unconnected reasons.

The first reason was that there was a very clear, close up photograph of one of our “Sold, subject to contract” boards of which there are many on display in the Ipswich and Martlesham areas.

Secondly is the general news concerning the “significant upturn” in the housing market in Ipswich and in Suffolk.

The third item was the one that delighted me the  most, however.

It said the Association said “nationally average sales increased from 9 per branch to 10 in May.  This follows a continued rise from the beginning of the year when, in January, the number of sales reported by estate agent members was only 7 per branch.”

This means that Jonathan Waters Estate Agents are selling five times the number of houses than the national average for estate agents.

It is always nice to have a reminder that the extra work that we do, above and beyond most of our competitors, plus the experience of the team that we have operating within our three branches at Ipswich town centre, east Ipswich at Foxhall Road and Martlesham Heath, really does take us into a different league than our competitors.

If you would like to take advantage of the upturn in the housing market in Suffolk and want to put your property on the market or would like a free valuation then please contact us at Jonanthan Waters Estate Agents.
