What this means if you are buying or selling
Asking prices are the earliest signal of the market, months before notary and land registry figures are published. They are not sale prices: well-priced homes in demand areas sell close to asking, while overpriced homes sit on the market and are later reduced. If you are selling, the area tables in the report are a good first check of where your price sits; if you are buying, they show where your budget goes furthest.
