Of the sales made by the Belvoir team, eight per cent were apartments, 38 per cent terraced homes, 35 per cent semi-detached, and 19 per cent detached properties.

Over the past 12 months the average sales price in Corby was £209,119 and the total value of sales was £166,160,073.

Gainsborough Road takes the title for the street with the most transactions in the past three months.

Belvoir Corby managing director Bobby Singh Braich said: “The housing market has been volatile in recent years as we navigated the unprecedented waters of the pandemic.

"House prices have risen in Corby by almost a third, making getting on the property ladder a pipedream for some.

“Across the country, 2023 will see millions of homes facing financial difficulty and I anticipate this will mean the housing market will slow as buyers – and builders - become hesitant at making large financial investment.

“Add to that the recent dramatic hike in mortgage rates and the end of the Help To Buy scheme and it is likely that we will see the previous property boom begin to slow down in the coming months.

“But rather than house prices drop, I believe they are more likely to plateau momentarily, as demand is still there. It is a sellers’ market, as supply remains low.”For more details call Belvoir Corby on 01536 261666.
