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%)

  • 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.

Over the past three years, the number of homes for sale has surged dramatically, far outpacing the national rise. Yet, despite the increase, supply remains tighter than in past downturns. With more choice for buyers, success now depends on smart, realistic pricing that stands out in a competitive market.

Many would-be buyers hesitate, waiting for calmer times before taking the plunge. Yet history shows that waiting often costs more than acting. While renters lose money monthly, owners build equity and stability. The market rewards time, not timing—progress starts the moment you buy.

This week’s property update looks at the latest £-per-square-foot trends, offering a snapshot of how the market is moving. While small shifts may not signal price changes, they reveal the evolving mix of homes for sale and provide valuable insight into overall market health and momentum.

In Attleborough, the blend of property types mirrors the town’s character—from flats to semi detached homes and spacious detached homes. This mix, shaped by local history and planning, reveals not just housing trends but the lifestyle choices of the people who call Attleborough home.
