Asking Prices: Stability Over Speculation

Rightmove data through November indicated stable asking prices, with fewer sellers chasing premium figures late in the year. Instead, pricing became more strategic, designed to attract proceedable buyers.

In Hemel Hempstead, sellers who adopted this approach continued to see interest, particularly where homes were well presented and competitively positioned within their immediate area.

Buyer Behaviour: Confidence with Caution

Nationwide’s mortgage approval data suggested that buyers remained active, though increasingly deliberate. Commitments were being made, but only where affordability and value aligned.

Locally, buyers were often well prepared, with finance in place, but less inclined to rush. This resulted in fewer speculative offers and more meaningful negotiations.

Completed Sales: Quiet Consistency

Halifax’s completion based data continued to show stability, reinforcing that transactions agreed earlier in the autumn were completing broadly as expected.

In Hemel Hempstead, this consistency helped underpin seller confidence, particularly for those progressing toward year end completions.

What November Revealed About Market Sentiment

November reinforced the idea of a market that was steady rather than slow. Activity levels softened naturally, but the quality of engagement remained strong.

For sellers, the key takeaway was reassurance. Buyers were still there, decisions were still being made, and realistic pricing continued to be rewarded.
