The property market started 2025 with a strong and confident step, following an unexpectedly active December.

Published: 12/02/2025

Buyer Demand on the Rise

At Paul Carr Estate Agents, we witnessed a surge in buyer registrations, with 387 new buyers signing up in the first week of January alone. By the end of the month, we had over 1,500 active new buyers, clear evidence of strong demand in the market.

Sellers Gearing Up for Spring

Mirroring buyer interest, we saw a 10% increase in prospective sellers booking free property valuations. This upward trend suggests a positive outlook for the Spring market.

A Surge in New Listings and Sales Activity

Across our branch network, we listed over 300 new properties in January, reflecting a 16% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Our dedicated team of Property Sales Consultants arranged more than 4,200 property viewings, resulting in nearly 200 successful sales—a testament to the high level of activity in the market.

Record-Breaking Auction & Mortgage Activity

For sellers seeking fast and secure transactions, our Auction & Secure Sales Department experienced a record-breaking month, with an increase in referrals, instructions, and successful sales. Paul Carr Mortgage Services also had an exceptional January, writing a record number of mortgages. Since April 2024, we have achieved an impressive 51% year-on-year growth, reinforcing our position as a trusted mortgage provider.

Rental Market Continues to Thrive

Paul Carr Residential Lettings had another standout month, fuelled by a wave of new property instructions in December and January. Tenant demand remains at record levels, ensuring continued success for landlords in the current market.

Market Outlook for 2025

Early indicators suggest a strong first half of 2025 for the property market, with continued resilience despite some local variations. However, we remain mindful of potential challenges ahead, including the upcoming Stamp Duty changes in April and ongoing economic uncertainties. Buyers are more informed than ever, carefully researching market conditions before making commitments.
