The past year has seen people\u2019s buying choices dramatically change as the lockdown led them to reassess what was important to them. As well as looking for more space, the trend has been for people to head to the coast; and now new research has revealed which coastal location has been the most in-demand for 2021.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth Most In-Demand Coastal Location<\/h3>\n

The research has revealed that Bournemouth is the most in-demand coastal location of 2021.<\/p>\n

Boasting a warm microclimate and 7 miles of sandy beaches, the Victorian seaside resort of Bournemouth can be found on the UK\u2019s south coast. It\u2019s little surprise that Bournemouth is popular with buyers when you consider it currently has nine blue flag beaches<\/a> (Alum Chine beach, Durley Chine beach, Fisherman\u2019s Walk beach, Southbourne beach, Branksome Chine, Canford Cliffs, Shore Road, Sandbanks and Manor Steps) and is bursting with popular attractions such as the Oceanarium, the pier, its parks and museums and boasts a plethora of outdoor leisure activities ranging from water sports to golf and cycling, as well as being the winner of numerous awards for its clean golden beaches.<\/p>\n

Southampton is this year\u2019s second most in-demand coastal location; Brighton third, Blackpool fourth and Poole fifth.<\/p>\n

Average asking prices across the top ten in-demand coastal locations rose 6 per cent this year, just ahead of the national average rise of 5 per cent.<\/p>\n

Time To Find A Buyer Hits Record Low<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This year the speed of the market has meant the time to find a buyer has hit a record low number of days. The average time it took to find a buyer across the whole of 2021 was 44 days, 15 days quicker than the average in 2020.<\/p>\n

Saltcoats, Ayrshire, was this year\u2019s quickest coastal location to find a buyer, at 19 days on average. Troon, in Ayrshire came second at 22 days, and Westward Ho, in Bideford, Devon was third at 24 days.<\/p>\n

The research from property portal giant Rightmove, which was based on millions of supply, demand and pricing data points across the property market, looked at activity in coastal locations in 2021 compared with 2020, Tim Bannister, Rightmove\u2019s Director of Property Data\u00a0comments:\u00a0\u201cAfter a year where coastal locations really captured the imagination of British buyers, it\u2019s interesting to reflect on how the overall picture looks at the end of the year. In terms of average asking price growth, homeowners in Cornwall and Devon are the real winners this year, with properties in some areas outpacing the national average, though this does mean that it is increasingly difficult for some locals to get onto the ladder. The speed of this year\u2019s market really is astounding, seen in the time to find a buyer in some areas, particularly in Scotland.<\/em><\/p>\n

Overall, this has been the year that either through changed lifestyle priorities, or the ability to work remotely, living in coastal areas has become possible for more buyers, which is reflected in the data we\u2019re seeing in this study.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
