The nine months of the year have proved to be something of a stark contrast with the first four months producing high levels of activity in terms of viewings etc but little in the way of firm offers, as prospective purchasers proved reluctant to commit in the light of world events and uncertainty.

The early summer then saw the market bounce back with more normal conditions prevailing and even August proving to be remarkably resilient for a traditional holiday month.

The autumn has seen the market continue on an even keel, with little change in the balance of supply and demand and we would expect conditions to remain broadly similar during the remainder of the year.

Continuing speculation about the future direction of property prices and interest rates does cause uncertainty for some prospective purchasers, although we ourselves would expect to see values in the Oxford area increase by anything up to 5% over the next 12 months.

We are always pleased to advise potential clients more specifically with regard to their particular properties, even though it may be some months or even years before they anticipate a possible move, and all such advice is given without charge or obligation.
