MY FATHER HAD a saying: “The only thing that’s constant is change.”
Then again, he hadn’t experienced the 2020 post-pandemic real estate market in London.
We continue to have several key factors influencing our market:
Low inventory. The simply is not enough new homes being built and not enough homeowners prepared to sell their properties.
High demand. With real estate continuing to be the best investment opportunity ― and net immigration fueling new buyers and demographics driving demand ― there seems no end to the number of buyers fueling the market.
Long development lead time. In London and region, it simply takes years for developers to bring lots to market and builders to get houses completed.
Material and labour shortages. From lumber to bathtubs to wooden dowels, the supply chain is strained to the point of breaking. In addition, labour shortages and Covid-related work restrictions are severely limiting productivity.
In conclusion, it remains a seller’s market with no change in sight for the foreseeable future.
