There are some properties that get snapped up within hours of hitting the market, while others take a little longer to become someone’s new home.
Properties waiting for a buyer for a while could mean buyers are in a better position to haggle the price down, so there’s a chance someone could grab a bargain.
A welcome prospect, particularly in the current climate.
House prices have fallen for the first time this year, though this is likely more due to holidays than interest rate rises.

Of course, one of the reasons a property might not be selling is because the vendor is asking too high a price and is unwilling to come down on it, so it’s important to do you research on the current market and compare prices to recent sales in the area.
