As we wrap up November and December, the property market continues to evolve, presenting both challenges and opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. Here's what’s changed and what lies ahead…

Buyer Demand Surges by 23% 📈

Compared to this time last year, buyer demand has increased significantly, reflecting renewed confidence in the market.

Record Property Availability 🏠

There are currently more properties on the market than we’ve seen in over a decade. With 1,568 properties now available, buyers are spoiled for choice, making it essential for new sellers to price competitively and realistically.

Local Market Snapshot 📊

Looking Ahead to 2025 🔮

Our predictions for next year:

- Continued market growth, with more properties entering the market.

- Buyers will become even more ‘savvy’, leveraging the abundance of choice.

- A strong push for completions in Q1 to avoid the changes to stamp duty.

- Interest rates will likely decrease further, encouraging buyer activity.

- Controversially* we anticipate a slight rise in house prices as demand strengthens.
