Most estate agents don’t talk about house prices.
Not because they don’t have the data.
But because they’re afraid of contradicting themselves.
“If I say prices are up, how can I ask a vendor to reduce?”
“If I say prices are down, won’t I scare off new instructions?”
Here’s the truth…
Prices have risen in many areas
But that doesn’t mean every home is worth more
And in a cooling market, accurate pricing matters more than ever
Talking about house prices isn’t about spinning a story.
It’s about explaining context. That’s what builds trust.
The best estate agents don’t dodge the complexity.
They own it.
And make it simple.
That’s not a contradiction.
That’s leadership.
