The above data reflects the typically seasonal nature of house sales, with more of these occurring in the Spring

2011. Of these, most were in Kettering Borough (1,027), closely followed by East Northamptonshire (1,006),
equating to 58% of all house sales between them. Corby had the least house sales (646) and Wellingborough had
834.
Of these sales, the greatest demand has been for Semi-detached properties (1,238 sales), closely followed by Detached

on all fronts. On the face of it, this data would seem to suggest that local buyers have had a preference for larger,
typically family homes.
