In wider research carried out by Barratt Redrow in a nationwide survey, it was found that local moves dominate with 48.7% of buyers remaining within the same local authority area and 67% of buyers moving less than ten miles to their new homes. e nationwide survey also found that younger rst-time buyers moved 5.4 miles on average whereas typically older home movers sought new homes at a median of 4.75 miles. A er the pandemic, the average moving distance increased by 31% - suggesting buyers are returning to their hometowns. Tammy Bishop, Sales Director from Barratt David Wilson Homes Southampton division said: “Our data has shown that buyers are moving short distances. This distance increased postpandemic, but the data shows that we’re serving existing local populations. It’s a common misconception that new housing developments attract buyers from out of town in bigger cities, but this isn’t happening as much as people may think. Many new residents will already have been a part of the community and won’t be coming from much further afield.” Pearsons Estate Agents are pleased to o er this beautifully presented 4 bedroom chalet bungalow for sale.
