A new study has revealed that Pembrokeshire has some of the biggest differences in asking prices and final prices for property.

The report, from estate agent comparison site GetAgent, analysed listings data to find the biggest trends for house-sellers, including how close to the original asking price homes sold for.

The findings showed Pembrokeshire areas made both the lists of the top ten regions that sold for over the asking price and under the asking price.

Saundersfoot’s SA69 postcode was revealed to be the area where houses sold for the joint first highest drop under asking price, with properties costing an average of 80 per cent of the price they were originally listed for.

On the other end of the spectrum, the findings also showed that SA36, in Glogue, saw houses sell for 118 per cent of the asking price, making it the joint third region for sales over asking price.

Colby Short, Co-Founder and CEO of GetAgent commented: “As experts in selling a home, we know how stressful it can be to find a buyer for your property.

“By sharing some of our own consumer data and the trends we’ve observed over the past year; we’re hoping we can provide house sellers with some valuable insight, and top tips, in what is often a very confusing and tense time.

“Surprisingly, while you might assume that homes closer to the capital would fetch higher asking prices, our research actually shows that it’s countryside destinations that are topping the list of expensive postcodes.

“As we’ve seen a more hybrid way of working come into play over the past couple of years, it’s clear to see that there’s demand for homes in the countryside, and even remote areas of the UK, as people leave the city life for space further afield.

“Despite the turbulent year of 2022 having had an adverse effect on many homeowner’s selling prices, it’s been really positive to see that sellers in many areas of the UK were able to achieve significantly more than their original asking prices - with some northern areas of the country achieving up to 120 per cent of theirs.”
