Sales market activity continues to display a more positive trend.

The September 2024 RICS Residential Survey results point to a sustained improvement in market activity, with measures of demand, sales and new listings all continuing to return positive readings. Moreover, forward-looking sentiment is consistent with further modest growth in headline sales volumes over the coming months, while expectations for the year ahead are also firmly in expansionary territory.

Headlines:

• New buyer enquiries indicator remains in positive territory

• Number of sales agreed also improves, with near-term expectations pointing to further growth

• National house price indicator moves out of negative territory.
