Will 2025 Be A Buyers' Market?

Will 2025 Be A Buyers' Market?

Given the start of a New Year is the ideal time to look forward, you’ll always have industry “experts” predicting what will happen in the 12 months which lie ahead.

At Coakley & Theaker, we use our experience to provide consistent services for homeowners looking to sell their home. The property market has peaks and troughs, and technology changes a lot of how we work, but consistency in selling standards never change.

We provide a consistent standard of service to Bury St Edmunds homeowners looking to sell, even when the property market gurus tell you something new every week.

At the start of 2025, it appears a few industry sources tip this year as being a “buyers market”. If you are planning on selling your home, this might sound off-putting, but don’t let it worry you. After all, buyers need sellers as much as the other way around you.

Rightmove believes there is less competition among buyers

Tim Bannister is a highly regarded professional at Rightmove, and he has said: “We think 2025 will continue to be a buyer’s market, which could provide buyers with more negotiating power, given the number of available properties per estate agent is at a decade-high for this time of year. There’s less competition amongst buyers than during the pandemic markets, which could provide them with some breathing room to choose the right home at the right price.”

Of course, this is a snapshot of the entire industry, and in some parts of the country, there are many homes available for buyers. In Bury St Edmunds, we don’t think this is the full story.

On the 1^st of January 2025, Rightmove states there were 315 properties listed for sale in Bury St Edmunds. This is a good number, but in the grand scheme of things, with around 53,500 households in the Bury St Edmunds constituency, this is a modest number of homes for sale. (The number of homes listed for sale is less than 0.6% of total households.)

Quality always matters in the property market

We also firmly believe quality matters when it comes to homes in Bury St Edmunds. Good homes attract buyers, and this provides sellers with a greater level of confidence in getting the best possible price for their home.

We not only help you present your home in the best manner, we market it to the right people, and we ensure buyers see it in the best light. Our track record in selling homes locally is second to none.

This is why even if the national market is classed as a “buyers market”, in Bury St Edmunds, homeowners can sell with confidence when they choose Coakley & Theaker.
