The average price of a home in Britain has risen to an all-time high, crossing the £350,000 mark.
They are up 10.4 percent in the past year to an average of £354,564, according to Rightmove.
The increases come amid an imbalance between strong buyer demand and a low number of homes available for sale.
There are now more than twice as many buyers as sellers in the market.
What is the average asking price for you? This semi-detached house in the Welsh coastal village of Llanon is up for sale for £355,000 (scroll down for more details)
Tomer Aboody, of real estate lender MT Finance, said: ‘While asking prices continue to rise, buyers can’t risk sitting around securing their new home for fear of missing out.
‘Many are willing to pay record prices due to a lack of supply, especially now that they can still benefit from the low mortgage rates.’
And North London estate agent Jeremy Leaf explains: ‘We have found the greatest interest in larger, higher-value family homes, where buyers seem to find it easier to shake off concerns about rising interest rates.
“There is not much demand for flats, especially apartments without outdoor space or good connectivity, because too high affordability and deposit collection are becoming more and more of a problem.”

And what about £355k in London?
House prices in London are generally higher. And while that continues to be the case, the capital lost some of its appeal during the pandemic as buyers sought more space after successive lockdowns.
Flats, in particular, lost their luster if they had limited access to open green spaces, whether that was a private garden, communal outdoor areas on a development, or near a public park.
And some flats already faced problems before the pandemic hit, such as toxic leasehold canons and dangerous cladding, which prevented their owners from selling.
Despite this, flats have regained some of their value as workers return to the office.
Take, for example, this property in Wapping in East London. It is leasehold and has one bedroom. It is for sale for £355,000 through Docklands Estates.
