A Promising Outlook For The UK Housing Market In 2025

A Promising Outlook For The UK Housing Market In 2025

As we step further into 2025, the UK housing market is showing strong signs of resilience and growth. After a positive start to the year, demand remains high, new properties continue to enter the market and mortgage rates have stabilised, creating a more confident environment for buyers and sellers alike.

Buyer interest has remained steady, with the number of sales agreed currently 9% higher than this time last year. The surge in activity at the beginning of the year has been sustained, with both buyers and sellers keen to make their move. Meanwhile, the number of new properties coming to market is 8% ahead of where it was in 2024, giving buyers more choice than they’ve had in a decade.

At ehB, we’ve seen first-hand how the UK housing market is thriving, with motivated buyers actively searching for their perfect home. If you’re thinking of selling, now is a fantastic time to take advantage of the market’s momentum.

Mortgage Rates Provide Stability
One of the key factors influencing the UK housing market is mortgage rates, which, whilst still higher than pre-2022 levels, have now settled. The average five-year fixed mortgage rate currently sits at 4.74%, significantly lower than the peak of 6.11% seen in July 2023. This stability is reassuring buyers who had previously held off due to affordability concerns.

For those looking to move, this is an encouraging sign, as predictable mortgage rates make it easier to plan and budget for a property purchase. Our knowledgeable team at ehB can connect you with trusted mortgage advisors to explore the best options available for you.

Is Now The Best Time To Sell?
With spring officially here and daylight hours getting longer, now is the perfect time to sell. Traditionally, the UK housing market sees an uptick in activity during the spring months, as buyers aim to move in time for summer. This seasonal surge means more potential buyers viewing properties, leading to faster sales and strong offers.

At ehB we understand the importance of timing when selling a property. We’ll work with you to price your home competitively, market it effectively and secure the best possible deal.

What To Expect From The UK Housing Market
Looking ahead, confidence in the UK housing market remains high. The combination of increased choice for buyers, stable mortgage rates and strong demand suggests that the market will continue its positive trajectory throughout 2025.

For sellers, this means competition remains strong, making it crucial to showcase your property at its best. For buyers, the higher number of properties available provides more opportunities to find the right home without the intense bidding wars seen in previous years.
