When's the right time to buy

The Herald headline on Thursday 26 February 2009 confirmed what we had been saying since Christmas.

Now is the time to buy a house if you have got a job and the money, ignore the crisis and start looking! We have experienced several sales recently where properties have been subject to multiple offers after the first weekend of open homes. In one situation the property received 65 inspections and 5 offers.

This week’s headlines should continue the changing of the tide in market sentiment as buyers make the most of what we see as a rare window of opportunity.
