With the property market in the UK mixed at the moment, with markets in London and the South-East cooling and the North and Midlands booming, according to latest research released this morning from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, homeowners are more likely to be decorating than selling up.
With prices unstable, many homeowners will be planning to stay put for the coming year.
This could lead to a shortage of properties for sale across the country as a whole, a trend which first started nearly two years ago and has been evident ever since.
