House Prices in Doncaster

The most frequently asked question today is what are house prices doing, rising or falling....?

The fact that buyers and sellers are asking the question is an indication of change, i.e. 6 months ago everybody knew they were falling, today that appears to be less obvious. Indeed many of the house price commentators are indicating a price increase, including the nationwide and the halifax, both reporting increases in July. Just google house prices and you can see how positive the reporting is now. Horton Knights reported an increase in activity some two months ago in the Doncaster Free Press, and we've seen that demand continue through the summer holiday period.

Getting the price right !

It is important to set your house price correctly, we can advice you on the current market trends including upto the minute information on house prices in Doncaster and surrounding villages. Many sellers will opt for the highest valuation, in the belief that buyers can always knock them down. However, with the internet buyers can do a lot more research, and if the price is considered too high they won’t even bother to view. Let alone make a low offer. My advice is get 3 – 5 valuations before attempting to set the price, but watch out for the over-valuers, who just want to put another board in another garden.

So...your house price is set. But that doesn’t guarantee a sale! Most buyers will use an estate agent to help them find a house, so your estate agent has to STAND OUT. At Horton Knights we have developed our advertising and marketing to do exactly that...STAND OUT and increase your chances of selling. From eye catching 'For Sale' boards, floor plans on every property brochure right through to the position of our office in the centre of Doncaster.

We have made similar investments on the technology fronts, we run a state of the art customer matching service, that means once you have instructed us to sell your house we can, with the press of a button find suitable applicants and start emailing/ telephoning your details to waiting buyers. But thats not all we advertise on 4 different websites to maximise your exposure, including the UKs largest property website  http://www.rightmove.co.uk/estate-agents/agent/Horton-Knights/Doncaster-23966.html?(Just browse our web pages to see more of the differences.)

Most sellers will not see the true effort that goes into selling their home. Such as keeping in regular contact with potential buyers, coaxing sometimes despondent buyers into viewing a house, providing a valuable feedback service to you the seller, after each viewing, to give you the best chance of a sale and keeping the marketing fresh and appealing.
