The housing market bounce-back was evident in June with market activity on the increase and prices following with a 1.7% increase on the month.
Pent-up demand can be attributed to much of this bounce back in activity due to the restrictions placed on the market over the previous few months.
The recently announced Stamp Duty Land Tax holiday is expected to support further activity and growth in the market over the coming months.
In many cases, the savings made thanks to reduced Stamp Duty are expected to be passed on with increasing house prices.
There remains uncertainty over the coming quarters however, due to the predicted labour market slow-down attributed to the post-lockdown economic conditions.
