The South West is now the fastest area of the UK for selling a home, particularly in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Plymouth, Swindon and Exeter.
The average time between a property being listed and a sale agreed is 19 days in the region - quicker than the average 22 days it takes elsewhere in the country - research by Zoopla shows.
It reflects the high levels of demand for property in the South West since the start of the pandemic, as some buyers made a move to prioritise access to rural and coastal settings. Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Plymouth, Swindon and Exeter are particularly fast-moving markets, Zoopla said.
