Spring brings a surge in new listings

The Spring home-moving season is off to a strong start, with a notable surge in new property listings. Thursday March 28th, just before the Easter break saw the highest number of new listing on Rightmove this year, 45% more than the previous Thursday. This influx of new sellers on Rightmove suggests a busy period for the housing market, with the hope of attracting buyers who utilised the long weekend for both home and Easter egg hunting.
