Builder reports low stock of new homes in East Midlands

Once in a generation discounts on new David Wilson homes in the East Midlands are set to end within weeks because the housebuilder has sold all but 45 of its stock homes during a highly successful autumn marketing drive. David Wilson East Midlands has sold 159 homes in the region since September during a period when pundits were writing obituaries for the housing market.

But now visitor levels are higher than last year - with 1,250 people visiting David Wilson sites throughout the East Midlands in the last three months. It means that the big discounts which buyers can now take advantage of will soon become a thing of the past.

"People who want a new home have worked out that there will never be a better time to buy," said Philip Lacey, Sales Director at David Wilson.

"More and more people are cottoning on to this and the number of potential customers visiting our sites is actually higher than it was 12 months ago. We've had 1,250 visitors in the last three months alone."

"While bargain hunters seem to be out in force, supply is going down. We sold 159 homes during the autumn selling season and now only have 45 left in the East Midlands."

"Time is running out on the once in a generation deals which we've been offering homebuyers in the last few weeks. We just won't have the level of stock left to sell."
