The UK Property Market is Buzzing – But Realistic Pricing Still Reigns Supreme

 


Great news for homeowners and buyers alike – the UK property market is off to a flying start in 2025! In January alone, there were 20% more homes sold subject to contract compared to the same time last year, with 98,978 properties finding buyers versus 84,509 in January 2024.

This surge in activity reflects growing confidence in the market, and we’ll be delving into the latest Northampton specific statistics over the next week. Keep an eye out for our upcoming report where we’ll break down exactly how our local Northampton market is performing.

However, while the picture is positive, it’s important to remember that only just over one in two homes that come to market actually end up selling (53% to be exact). This is a crucial reminder that no matter how busy the market gets, realistic pricing remains the key to securing a sale.

If you’re thinking of selling in 2025, now is a fantastic time to take advantage of the market momentum—but make sure your Northampton property is priced competitively to attract the right buyers.
