2025 Housing Market Outlook: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

2025 Housing Market Outlook: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

The UK property market has continued to prove its resilience in recent years, and as we move through 2025, many buyers and sellers are understandably keen to understand what lies ahead.

Whether you are thinking about making your next move or simply keeping an eye on market conditions, here’s what you need to know about the current landscape.

House Price Trends

Recent data suggests that after a period of relative stability, we are seeing a gradual increase in house prices across many parts of the UK, particularly in sought-after areas such as Lincolnshire. Low housing supply continues to underpin values, while a gradual easing in mortgage rates is encouraging more buyers back into the market.

At Kinetic Estate Agents, we are witnessing healthy levels of demand for well-presented homes, particularly those that are energy efficient and in desirable village locations.

Mortgage Market

The mortgage market has seen some much-needed improvements, with more lenders offering competitive fixed-rate deals as inflation shows signs of settling. First-time buyers and movers alike may now find slightly improved affordability, helping to sustain buyer confidence.

What This Means for Sellers

If you are considering selling your property this year, now could be an opportune moment. Buyers are motivated, and a shortage of stock means well-marketed homes can attract strong interest.

Presentation remains key. Homes that are priced correctly and marketed professionally continue to generate good levels of viewing activity and offers.

Advice for Buyers

For buyers, patience and preparation are essential. Ensure your mortgage agreement in principle is in place early and be prepared to act decisively when you find the right property.

At Kinetic, we can guide you through every step of the process to give you the best chance of success in a competitive environment.
