There are several reasons for the increase. Traditionally the number of homes up for sale does increase towards the end of winter. In addition there is the influx of new builds and people who choose to sell because they are downsizing, moving up the ladder, or disposing of assets. The latter could be due to the continuing uncertainty with Brexit.
