Market Review 2024

Reflecting on 2024
This year has been marked by waiting:
- Waiting for elections, budgets, and interest rate adjustments.
- A shift in buyer and seller activity towards the end of the year.
Yet, despite these hurdles, there’s plenty to celebrate in the property market’s resilience.
Looking Ahead to 2025
The outlook for 2025 is bright, driven by:
- Increased Market Activity: Monthly transactions are expected to rise to 75,000.
- Cash Injections: Many are cashing in pensions to fund property purchases or upgrade main residences under inheritance tax-free allowances.
- Stable Interest Rates: Predicted to settle at 4.5%, offering buyers confidence in securing mortgages.
