A development of new houses in the village I moved to (106 houses in all) seem to be selling as quickly as they are finished. Some are sold as they break ground while being Many properties in and around the Lakes are selling for *more* than the asking Some estate agents here get so many enquiries to view properties, they have to turn down some requests to view. The bungalow I moved to is now valued at £100k + more than I paid for it in 2014.... Not that it matters, as I'm not selling.
