Figures from property website Rightmove indicate sellers are looking to take advantage of the traditional increase in buying over Easter. House prices rose by an average of £1,132 last month, or 0.6%, as sellers anticipated a buying spree over the bank holiday weekend. But Rightmove warned that sellers were misguided if they thought buyers were ready to pay higher prices. A spokesman for the website said: “It’s counter-intuitive that sellers are looking to push up prices when there is already a huge oversupply of homes for sale.” Rightmove said the number of properties coming on the market was almost twice the number being sold or withdrawn.
