House prices may be starting to come down across Greater Manchester, but it is still a task to find a reasonable priced home. The average cost of a property has climbed 7 percent in the last year, with the standard selling price of a home now £259,200.
Coupled with the cost of living squeeze, and the fact that wages are staying stagnant, more and more first-time buyers are struggling to get a foot on the property ladder. With that being said, there are certain parts of the region where househunters can look to be in with a better chance of finding an affordable home.
In boroughs such as Bolton, Bury and Wigan, the average house price is much cheaper and there are some bargain homes up for grabs at the moment. These range from doer-upper homes that need a bit of work, to properties that could be considered 'move-in' ready with little to no renovation costs.
