The retail and housing markets are linked, as a thriving retail sector means more jobs, available capital, and opportunities which make a town more desirable and can increase housing prices. For example, a bustling city like Norwich with a strong retail sector draws investment that contributes to overall prosperity and higher home values. While retail can indicate trends in the property market and vice versa, the relationship is complex and one does not always directly influence the other.
