Is Now the Right Time to Sell? 2025 Property Market Trends Every Homeowner Should Know
The UK property market is always changing, but 2025 brings new opportunities for sellers who want to capitalise on shifting trends. If you’ve been considering selling, now is the time to assess the market conditions, buyer demand, and property values to make an informed decision.
So, should you sell now or wait? Let’s break down what’s happening.
1. House Prices Are Holding Steady (For Now)
After a turbulent few years, house prices in Luton and surrounding areas are stabilising, with some areas even seeing small increases. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) recently reported that house prices in Luton rose 1.8% in the last quarter of 2024, outpacing the East of England average.
What This Means for You:
- If you’ve been waiting for prices to climb before selling, you may not see huge growth soon.
- Well-priced properties are still selling fast—buyers are prioritising value.

2. Buyer Demand is Strong in Luton
Despite economic uncertainty, demand for homes in Luton remains higher than supply. With London prices pushing more buyers into commuter towns, Luton continues to be a sought-after location for both families and investors.
Why Buyers Are Looking Now:
- Interest rates are expected to fall later in 2025, pushing more buyers into the market.
- Rental demand is at an all-time high, meaning investors are actively searching for properties.
- First-time buyers are still eager to get on the ladder before house prices rise again.
Thinking of Selling? A well-marketed property in a high-demand area can attract multiple offers.
3. Government Changes Could Impact Sellers
The Renters’ Rights Bill, set to be finalised in 2025, will introduce stricter regulations for landlords. This is leading some investors to sell their buy-to-let properties, increasing supply.
What This Means for You as a Seller:
- More properties on the market = more competition for buyers’ attention.
- Sellers with well-maintained homes will stand out and attract better offers.
