4. house prices up; volumes down by Adrian Black, 3 months ago

   the average house price completed sale in October 2009 was a staggering 20% higher than the average house price sale in April 2009 in the collective area of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The market, for houses in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, as YOUhome predicted (see past issues of the YOUhome PROPRTYtimes) became much busier in the second half of 2009.  The number of completions has fallen for the past 3 months so we expect prices to remain at around their current levels in the short term.

5. money returning to the market by Adrian Black, 3 months ago

   lenders are increasing the loan to value (LTV) percentages that they are willing to lend for mortgages.  Over the past 3 to 4 weeks more lenders are offering 85% and 90% LTV mortgages - and we see every reason why this trend will continue as property prices stabalise.  This is good news for buyers and also for vendors as a lack of finance has been the major difficulty for the property market.

6. forces in all directions by Adrian Black, 4 months ago

   we are at a very interesting point in the property market for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.  Sales volumes for houses have picked up a lot, sales of flats not so much.  Unemployment will probably rise.  Banks have access to very cheap funding and must come under increasing competitive and government pressures to reduce their margins.  Banks have also recently been successful in selling some mortgages to wholesale investors - this allow banks to lend more.

   Banks are also beginning to sell land that they have acquired as a result of developers falling into administration.  

   Our conclusions are - we expect buyers to remain cautious and activity might increase.  If the positive forces strengthen then we believe to number of people willing to buy will increase substantially.
