Conclusion
Selling times reduced again in the last month. They fell from 86 days to 72 days and this is about the lowest it has been for some time.
The financial market has stabalised after President Trump caused havoc some weeks ago. The Bank of England reduced the base rate to 4.25% today (8th May 2025). Whilst these two things have had no bearing on the reduction of selling times in the Harlow property market, they may indeed help to drive selling times even lower over the next month.
Jukes Estate Agents Harlow marketing director Geoff Flewers says: ” Provided homeowners do not think that reduced interest rates means reduced mortgage rates and that this will drive the property price up then we should see a further reduction in selling times in Harlow. Over pricing / valuing has been the main driving force in increased selling times. We MUST make sure that we market properties at a price that tempt buyers and therefore reduce selling times. This will actually increase sale prices.”
