Every now and then we think it’s nice to give you an update on the local housing market.
So here are a couple of facts that you should find interesting…

However, Rugby property prices still sit just over £4,000 higher than the ‘pre-pandemic level’ in December 2019 when the average house price in Rugby sat at £242,826.
It is, however, lower than the peak that the Rugby market hit in June last year (2022) which was £258,101

A slowing market?
There are now less property transactions going through with us seeing a decline in Rugby for four months in a row now.
This doesn’t necessarily mean the market is going quiet. It is more likely due to the slow transaction time due to delays that solicitors are currently facing.
