ARNOLDS RESIDENTIAL SALES TEAMS SHINE THROUGH IN VOLATILE MARKET

Half way through the year, the residential property market is showing more positive signs with viewings and sales levels increasing as confidence returns.

Inevitably, after a long run of several years when prices increased inexorably, a quieter period….and one where price increses have slowed…has caused volatility as prospective purchasers take a more conservative view with their bidding.

In truth, the markets became more difficult in 2004 when mortgage rate increases and negative statements by The Governor of The Bank of England about the future direction of prices caused many buyers to "sit on the fence" before they made up their mind whether to buy or not.

In these market conditions a quality estate agent will always do better and that certainly seems to be the case so far as Arnolds offices are concerned.  Arnolds professional valuers, who include Chartered Surveyors and Members of the National Association of Estate Agents, take great care in respect of the marketing advice they offer potential vendors to ensure that a property is neither over priced (resulting in low levels of interest) or under priced, and that a marketing campaign is devised which will ensure the best results for our clients, regardless of market conditions.

Equally important is the quality of our sales negotiators who are mature, experienced and fully trained to reassure prospective purchasers that the negative media comments about the property market are overstated and that they can buy with confidence. As a result Arnolds offices at Norwich, Eaton and Wroxham are achieving sales where others would undoubtedly have failed.

The market remains volatile, however, and is likely to remain so for the rest of 2005 and possibly longer.

This does not deter us, however, and we remain positively committed to doing the very best we can to achieve success on behalf of our clients.  If you require valuation or marketing advice, please contact our Norwich Residential Sales Office (01603 216808) our Eaton Office (01603 506697) or our newly established and highly successful Broadland Office at Wroxham (01603 782053) or call/e-mail as below.  We offer a number of unique selling services, outstanding value for money and a dedication to professionalism which we believe cannot be matched.
