Now is the Time to Sell Your House - C'mon, Quick

I have just read an article by Judith Heywood in the Times, well it is not really an article, simply a series of quotes from estate agents and letting agents around the country.

Some being pretty honest and some clearly talking up the market, but the pattern that emerges is of a seller's market in UK housing at the moment. So is it time to sell your house? It is according to Richard Mckay, director of UK property sales portal Zungalow.com.

"If you have a good property in a good area, now is the time to sell, and I mean right now. Short supply is driving up prices and you may even get close to peak value if you can get your property onto the market before supply of like-for-likes increases in your area, before everyone catches on if you like," he said.

The supply shortages really are surprising; as it has never been easier to sell your house, there have never been more options literally at your fingertips. Zungalow.com is a good example actually, it allows you to sell your house privately for £29 per year, compared to the average 2-3,000 charged by estate agents.
