Canterbury Leads the Surge in Online Property Interest
There has been a huge surge in demand in some regions of the UK according to new data from Rightmove.
The portal reports that the south west of England has been the focus of much of the portal’s surge in visits in recent weeks with Plymouth, Torquay and Truro being three stand-out locations with a big increase in demand.
Some areas elsewhere in southern England, such as Canterbury and Bournemouth, as well as parts of the Midlands have also seen the biggest rises.
The regional breakdown comes in the latest release of Rightmove visitor figures which details that on Wednesday May 27 we saw visits to Rightmove exceed six million in a day for the first time, which is up 18 per cent on the comparable day of 2019.
Meanwhile the busiest ever day with regards to time spent on Rightmove was Saturday May 23 with over 47m minutes spent collectively.
The site says home-mover momentum has been building over the two weeks since the housing market reopened in England. And it says it’s found “a new wave of buyers now entering the market” since the lockdown finished.
Regal Estates have seen an increase in online activity across the board on all property portals and through our social media marketing, however not all this interest has converted to action as many people are still hesitant about the safety of viewing properties.
Rest assured at Regal Estates we follow strict social distancing guidelines to ensure everyone's safety.
