As the Didsbury property market approaches its zenith, Philip James Kennedy can look at the real truth of how the Didsbury property market is performing at the half year point. Traditionally the most serious buyers and sellers enter the market in the Spring and early Summer with many sales completing with good weather and holidays providing some respite from the rigors of moving. The cliché observations about low interest rates; low unemployment; Brexit and their impact on the market are enough to bore even the most enthusiastic buyers and

Didsbury property market which underpins activity but the single most important driver is ‘FINDING A PROPERTY TO MOVE TO THAT YOU LOVE’ . At Philip James Kennedy we recognise that by generating the best instructions for Didsbury buyers we will have the best chance of maximising the many attractive features which are prevalent in the marketplace. We have three other developments which are currently at construction stage within

Didsbury and West Didsbury villages with release dates set for late summer. If you are not already registered as a buyer with Philip James please contact the Didsbury

our new instructions / developments prior to them being marketed on Rightmove.

On a more sobering note in 2019 local agents have had to contend with a massive drop in rental income through changes in tenants fees; reduced commissions; an over supply of agents in hotspot areas and higher wages and incentives for the best sales teams.

be little to choose between the agents but in this market having a proactive; knowledgeable and incentivised estate agent acting on your behalf is essential to

The top agents in an area who are generating the most new instructions are still able to deliver a fantastic marketing and selling service and I foresee that these agents will start to pull away as they have the momentum.

The outlook for the last 6 months of 2019 is extremely positive as sales for

purchase when the correct properties come available. Prices are up 3% this year and I would anticipate prices remaining the same or having a modest increase of up to 3-4 % over the next 12 months. Demand remains high for the best new properties but overly ambitious pricing will inevitably lead to prices needing to be reduced to achieve a sale in this market.

As a particularly sophisticated and socially savvy marketplace we have invested heavily in social media which is essential to complement traditional selling techniques. We now boost all our new listings on Facebook & Instagram to reach more people and use an in house graphic designer to polish all posts to make sure your property really stands out.

We review all our social adverts on their performance and always strive to achieve a bigger reach; more impressions; more engagement and most of all more clicks which we report back to our individual clients.

sold 40% of all properties marketed in 2019 in the M20 postcode ( twice more than our nearest competitor ) and 75% of all prestigious homes sold in 2019 for between £750,000 and £5 million.

The outlook for the last 6 months of 2019 is extremely positive as sales for our

8% year to date with many of our clients

I’d like to congratulate the winners of our yearly Dream Home competition 2019 which we announced as the principal sponsors of the Beaver Road Summer fete

schools participated in the competition whereby pupils were asked to create an image of their Dream Home they would most want to move into. The whole team got involved on the actual day with a nine hole crazy golf course and a balloon buster available alongside our branded gazebo. The winners were announced on the day and received a mounted aluminium plaque showcasing their design; prize vouches and their artwork will be on placemats at Gusto’s in Didsbury village. All the pictures from the day are available on our Instagram & Facebook pages @philipjamespartnership #DreamHome
