The housing market is coming out of the winter doldrums but remains much quieter than at this time last year according to data collated by Agency Express.
It says its new ‘For Sale’ listings have risen 23.3 per cent in February over the previous while ‘Sold’ rose by 37.6 per cent.
However the supply of new listings a year ago, in February 2015, was 51.4 per cent over the previous month.
