Demand by segment

Where the pressure actually is

Percentage of live registered buyers with a matching brief. Anything above 80% will sell before it is finished being photographed.

Method: registered-buyer briefs held by us on the last working day of each quarter, deduplicated by household. It is a demand measure, not a sales measure — which is why it leads prices rather than following them.
