House Sales Surge in Early 2025 Compared to 2024

As Q2 nears its end, Attleborough’s housing market shows promise, with more homes going under offer in Q1 2025 than in the same period last year. This rise, seen across much of the UK, signals growing buyer confidence and strong market activity.

As we near the end of Q2 (April to June), there’s positive news for the Attleborough housing market, with a noticeable increase in the number of homes going under offer/sale agreed in Q1 of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Across nearly every region of the UK, sales agreed (sold subject to contract) have risen, indicating growing buyer confidence and strong market activity.
 
Here’s a breakdown of sales agreed in Q1 2025, along with the percentage growth versus Q1 2024:
  • East Midlands: 23,955 sales (+13.9%)
  • East Anglia: 33,501 sales (+12.2%)
  • London: 32,039 sales (+6.7%)
  • North East: 12,755 sales (+9.7%)
  • North West: 36,326 sales (+12.9%)
  • Northern Ireland: 5,759 sales (-1.6%)
  • Scotland: 22,240 sales (+3.7%)
  • South East: 48,522 sales (+8.1%)
  • South West: 30,664 sales (+7.0%)
  • Wales: 14,071 sales (+12.8%)
  • West Midlands: 25,810 sales (+10.1%)
  • Yorkshire and Humber: 24,468 sales (+8.7%)

The only region to experience a slight drop was Northern Ireland, where sales dipped by 1.6%.
 
Overall, the Attleborough market is showing strong resilience and renewed momentum compared to the challenges of previous years. These figures highlight that many Attleborough buyers are pressing ahead with confidence, taking advantage of competitive mortgage rates and improving economic conditions.
 
Don’t forget though, even though the property market is performing well, only 54% of homes that come onto the market actually end up exchanging and completing — (ie the owners move home). That’s why it’s so important to be realistically priced from day one if you want to maximise your chances of a successful move.

In early 2023, forecasters warned of a steep UK housing slump, predicting falls of up to 15% after rising rates and political turmoil. Three years on, the data tells a calmer story. HM Land Registry shows prices nearly 4% higher nationally, with Attleborough steady. As 2026 begins, is crash talk fact or just headlines?

January 2026 showed a market regaining momentum. Across much of the UK, sales agreed are running ahead of two years ago, led by the Midlands and East. Scotland and Wales are also strengthening. London remains mixed, and Northern Ireland softer. This is not a boom, but a steady, broad based rebuild driven by realistic pricing.
