What’s happening in the Cirencester property market?

In September 2024, the Cirencester property market is showing signs of recovery, with buyer confidence returning after the recent election and a well-received interest rate cut. The combination of political stability and lower borrowing costs has started to encourage more potential buyers, especially those who had been hesitant during the uncertain months leading up to the election.

The interest rate cut has made mortgages more affordable, which is particularly beneficial for first-time buyers and those looking to move up the property ladder. While the market had been challenging earlier in the year, with many properties sitting unsold and reductions in asking prices, there is now renewed activity as buyers feel more optimistic about their financial outlook.

Properties across various price ranges are beginning to see more interest. This uptick in activity suggests that the market may continue to improve as we move further into the autumn months, with buyers and sellers alike adjusting to the new economic landscape.
