Spring bounce loading

So, apparently, Spring is on the way… or so the nesting ravens, great tit’s song, chatting hedgerows & bulb proliferation tells us, even if the weather remains decidedly ‘peak bleak.’

And you know what that means, don’t you?

The Spring bounce, or Spring surge is upon us: the busiest time of year for the Norfolk property market – with a 25%+ uplift in people actively searching for homes in this wonderful region, & a corresponding rise in properties being listed.

Interest is starting to peak…

Local estate agents we are in touch with on a daily basis are all reporting a huge surge in property coming to market this 2025 Spring & Summer, as well as an increase in registrations from buyers.

All of which means the old forces of supply & demand come into play… with competition becoming more fierce for the fresh meat on the plate.

The recent interest rate reduction is just the catalyst the property market needed to give an extra shot in the arm to the traditional Spring bounce – with increasingly favourable economic conditions bolstering buyer confidence.

Inflation rates appear to be under control, further drops are widely predicted to inflation & interest rates – so better mortgage offers will be streaming through, at a time when the market is busy.

And the soft Norfolk sunlight, longer daylight hours & pretty blooming Spring verges helping to present properties in their best light will only fan the flames.

Then there’s the undeniable logic of aligning a Spring STC offer with moving into your new home in the dry, warm, fun of the Summer holidays – not to mention being ready for the start of the new academic year – meaning maximum move enjoyment & minimum disruption to children's schooling, or any sort of life really.

Speaking to some agents, there is a genuine excitement that the market could even super heat, which is long overdue… with a possible return to ‘best & final’ offers from multiple interested parties & the like.

We’re not sure it’s quite there yet, but there’s certainly a potential for it… are you ready?

Where does the Spring bounce & rise in market activity leave you lovely Norfolk property buyers?

Struggling for attention & quality of service from estate agents?

Struggling in a more aggressive, competitive market, where the fight is on to secure properties quickly & efficiently?

Struggling for time, whilst trying to manage a house purchase, a move, a re-location, a new school, business, life or family changes?

Struggling with technology & having to do it all online?

Struggling to find the Norfolk property you’re looking for?

Struggling to negotiate successfully on “the one?”

Sounds exhausting!

What is it they say?

“Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles, it takes away today’s peace…”

How true. And why put yourself through that?

Life is short.

Spring is shorter still…

So get your nose in front, free yourself of the hassle, stress & time required to find your dream home all by yourself – make the intelligent choice to use Flint Homes property buying agency.

We do all the hard work for you, so you can relax, stay focused & actually enjoy the process.

And with our modest retainer fee the only up front cost & commission fee only payable on exchange of contracts – after we have negotiated you a great price on your dream house & secured it for you – the finances sort themselves out, often meaning we are effectively free of charge, having already saved you money on the purchase price.

It’s a no brainer.

But don’t take our word for it… ask a grown up newspaper why more & more folk are turning to property buying agencies.

The FT reports: “The use of property buying agents… has traditionally been associated with high-net-worth individuals. However, recent trends indicate a growing adoption among a broader range of buyers. While exact percentages are not readily available, the increasing interest from buyers with budgets below £1.1 million suggests a notable shift.

“This trend reflects a rising awareness of the benefits buying agents offer, such as access to off-market properties & expert negotiation skills. As the property market remains competitive, more buyers are recognising the value of enlisting professional assistance to navigate the complexities of purchasing a home.”

Could not have put it much better ourselves… although the reality is we offer so, so much more here at Flint Homes; support, contacts, impartiality, razor-sharp professionalism, a lunch out, friendship… the list goes on & on for our lucky clients.
