In April this year, KWUK celebrated the success of the entrepreneurs empowered through the real estate network with its quarterly State of Your Company (SOYC) Awards. These awards recognise the successes of agents (who run their own businesses) across the country, and have excelled in doing so. The SOYC Awards take place quarterly as part of a wider meeting which includes key industry updates as well as KW internal updates such as developments in training and technology offerings. During the awards, celebrated agents and their achievements are shared with associates across the UK.

This quarter’s first place winners for each category are listed below:

 

Rightmove has recently announced the top UK neighbourhoods where homes are selling fastest… has your town made the list?

Out of the top ten fastest selling locations, seven were in Scotland – good news for those trying to sell north of the border. And whilst the market is generally more settled than last year, it’s still buoyant, with an average selling time of 55 days for the UK and 34 days for Scotland. For comparison, the average selling time for a home in March 2019 was 67 days.

Other findings in the report show that London is still the slowest market, with an average property sale time of 65 days. Properties that lie in commuter belts for major cities are selling faster than last year, for example Windsor in Berkshire, Knaphill in Surrey, and Cowley in Oxfordshire – albeit they didn’t make the top ten list.

Here’s a few of the featured top ten, including a few examples of homes for sale through Keller Williams agents!

Falkirk, Stirlingshire – Average sale time: 22 days

Racking up a number of accolades in recent years, including “Most Beautiful Town” and “Best Walking Neighbourhood”, Falkirk is steeped in history and has won the top spot for the fastest house sales this quarter. With an average sale time of only 22 days – if you’ve got a home here the chances of a quick sale are high!

Renfrew, Renfrewshire – Average sale time: 24 days

Another historic Scottish town, only six miles outside of Glasgow, it’s proximity to Scotland’s largest city undoubtedly has undoubtedly played a part in the fast house sales in the area. It came in at position number 3 on Rightmove’s list, with house sales taking an average of 24 days.

Hall Green, Birmingham – Average sale time 26 days

 One of the three English towns making the top ten, Hall Green in Birmingham came in at position number 8 on Rightmove’s list. Sitting west of Solihull in the South East of the City, Hall Green is known for good schools and suburban living. Yet another commuter area, it’s only six miles outside of the city centre – making it an excellent option for commuters.
