What better time to start your search for a new home than during a period when new homes are coming on to the market constantly and numbers look set to rise even further?

The market is already experiencing a post-election boom, and more and more vendors are set to add to the lists of property for sale in Leicester and beyond.

Over the three months that followed the General Election in May 2010, the number of homes being put on the market went up by 17 per cent compared to the three months before the election, and a similar trend is expected this time around, according to property experts at listings website Rightmove.

Some people held back from putting their properties on the market before the election as they awaited the outcome and are now getting their moving plans back on track, adding to the choices on offer if you are searching for your next home.

The influx on to the market is also likely to be particularly impressive this time around, given the fact that some vendors delayed putting their properties up for sale because they feared that there might be some uncertainty in the market at a result of a hung parliament. This did not happen, however, as the Conservatives took a clear victory, and now many sellers are feeling confident enough to look to the future once again.

This is good news at a time when the country as a whole has been facing some of the lowest levels of properties being offered for sale seen in almost six years.

If you are looking for property for sale in the Leicester area, increasing levels of choice will undoubtedly make your property search more enjoyable and, ultimately, more fruitful. A greater variety of listings allows you not only the greatest chance of finding your perfect home, but also plenty of properties to compare against one another.

This process of comparison can be a real bonus at the start of a hunt for a home, allowing you to decide what you definitely do want from a new property and what you really do not need or want.

A large amount of choice will also open up opportunities for great deals and will allow you to get a really broad sense of the state of the current market and how much you should be budgeting for to obtain the type of property you want to own.
