Local News
Zoopla sees surge in Dorset seaside homes for sale
The number of houses for sale by the sea has grown by a fifth in the last year, with Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole experiencing a particularly strong increase in supply. Estate agents in the southwest now have about two-and-a-half times as many homes for sale as they did in spring 2022. Prices have also risen, with areas like Christchurch seeing property prices increase by more than a quarter on average over the past five years. However, government data suggests the average house price in Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole was £324,000, falling by more than five percent between February 2023 and 2024. The rise in supply has led to longer selling times, with properties in Cornwall taking 20 days longer to sell compared to spring 2022, and 23 days longer in east Dorset. The return to office or hybrid working may have reduced the motivation for potential buyers to move for lifestyle changes, and sellers are advised to set realistic prices.
