Your analysis - not you're! I'm blaming spell check!

Jon, you're analysis is right. Part of the answer lies in new house building which the government needs to support. The other part of the problem is a lack of stock. So often now I go to a valuation and the potential vendor tells me they won't go to market until they find something. Of course, with lots of vendors taking that view very little comes to the market and a vicious circle is created with fewer and fewer properties coming to the market. There are lots of buyers about and every time we launch a good property it creates a flood of viewings. As agents we need to communicate this to potential vendors and encourage more to come to market before they find their next home. Finally, we need to remember that modest steady growth and lots of stable transactions are far better for our businesses and for our clients than rapidly rising prices which prevent younger people buying and cause people to delay their house sale in expectation of ever higher prices in the future.

It is a thought-provoking article and Fake Agent is not wrong to suggest that more affordable housing would benefit agents too - more house building at the lower end of the market would have the inevitable effect of increasing numbers of transactions which benefits us all.
