Annual property price growth in the North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber is significantly stronger than a year ago, as the shortage of property to buy continues to support prices. Agents across the North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber report the current sales to stock ratio is at a record high (RICS), with properties selling in just 38 and 35 days respectively (Rightmove).
Double-digit property price growth is evident in 25 areas of the North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber. Richmondshire, and Redcar and Cleveland are currently the strongest performing areas.
It is estimated 880,000 property sales took place across the UK in the first six months of 2021, the highest half year total ever recorded and 50% higher than the same period in 2019 (HMRC). It is anticipated sales will top 1.5 million over the course of the year. Buyers have been spurred on by a desire for change and financial savings as a result of taxation ‘holidays’, with over 60% paying no tax on their purchase.
In the North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber, the most active housing markets over the past year have been in Selby and Ryedale.

The local environment, gardens, greater internal square footage and a demarcated space to work from home, all continue to be deemed more important property features in a new home.
