Rightmove has reported that the asking price for a home lept by more than £8,000 during October. This is the biggest jump for more than eight months.
The typical property asking price rose by 3.5% to £243,168 with all regions across the UK seeing a rise in prices.
Rightmove has said that autumn showed evidence of life being pumped back into the market, with an upturn likely due to the lack of property for sale making competition fierce in some areas. People have less choice and vendors have begun to push their asking prices up, taking advantage of the situation.
The jump means that prices are now 1.5% higher than they were a year ago, and the drop in asking prices of £11,000 due to the Olympic Games is being counteracted in some small way with this change.
London has strong overseas buyer interest, and so continues to perform well with the biggest jump in asking prices with 4.8% to an average price of £478,071.
There was an increase of 3.9% in the South East and West Midlands, and an increase of 3.8% in the North West and 3.4% in Wales. East Anglia saw the smallest increase of 0.4% .
The Council of Mortgage Lenders announced that it has seen a two year high in lending to home buyers in August.
Rightmove said that its own research has found that fewer than two in five would-be buyers say they will arrange to visit a property they believe is over-priced, even if it matches their criteria.
