Property Supply And Demand Analysis: Positive Trends For 2025
We’re well into 2025, and the property market supply and demand is looking good. Read Allen Goldstein’s latest UK property analysis and thoughts online here.
Introduction
The UK property market is showing signs of balance, with increasing supply meeting steady demand.
However, this hasn’t impacted prices yet, possibly due to affordability challenges slowing demand in markets like London.
Understanding supply and demand helps buyers find deals, sellers price competitively, and investors spot opportunities. Keep reading to read the latest property analysis and what to expect for the end of Q1 and beyond.
Current Trends in Property Supply
Lately, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in property listings. A big reason for this is homeowners taking advantage of favourable market conditions, deciding now’s the time to sell.
According to Rightmove, “The number of sales being agreed upon is up by 22% compared with this time last year, while the number of new buyers contacting estate agents about homes for sale is up by 13%.”
At the same time, new housing developments are wrapping up, adding more properties to the market. Different regions are experiencing this rise in supply at varying levels, with some areas seeing more movement than others.
Whether it’s due to new builds or sellers ready to move, it’s clear that property options are on the up, giving buyers more to choose from across the board.
Current Trends in Property Demand
The analysis also shows buyer interest is still strong, but activity levels vary depending on a few key factors.
Mortgage interest rates play a big role in shaping demand, with any changes influencing how many people are ready to buy.
Economic factors, like inflation or employment rates, also affect consumer confidence, which in turn impacts housing demand.
On top of that, demographic shifts, like younger generations looking for their first home, are changing the kinds of properties in demand.
Zoopla states “Our data shows buyers have become more price-sensitive in the final months of year due to growing uncertainty over the outlook for mortgage rates in 2025 and concerns over the wider impacts of the Budget. It will remain a buyer’s market in 2025, but we expect there to be sufficient house price inflation to support more home moves.”
All these factors combined give a clearer picture of what’s driving buyers right now.
What This Means For Buyers, Sellers, and Investors
For buyers, the current market presents more property options, offering greater flexibility in finding the right fit. However, with increased competition, having a well-thought-out strategy is crucial.
Overall, buyers should stay informed, be ready to make quick decisions, and ensure they’re financially prepared to secure their ideal home in a dynamic market.
Sellers should focus on competitive pricing and enhancing their property’s appeal to attract buyers. This can involve staging, high-quality photos, and highlighting key features to make the home stand out in a competitive market with many options available.
For investors, it’s vital to spot profitable opportunities and assess the market’s long-term viability to ensure smart investments—and that’s where a professional property team can help.
