As we move towards the summer holiday break, activity across our markets is maintaining a steady, reassuring rhythm. Campaigns are well attended, buyers are engaged, and we are seeing a balanced mix of on-market and off-market transactions. Many purchasers are keen to secure a home before the year draws to a close, which is keeping conversations and negotiations active right across our network.
At the same time, a significant amount of planning is already in motion for 2026. We are working with clients who are using December and January to get their homes photographed, styled and prepared so they can launch confidently into the February and March selling season. Others are using the next few weeks to make clear, considered plans so they are ready to act quickly when the right opportunity appears.
Overall, conditions remain balanced. There is enough stock to give buyers a choice, yet not so much that it is diluting competition for well-presented, competitively priced homes. That equilibrium is providing a fair degree of certainty for both sides of the transaction, which is exactly what most people are looking for at this time of year. It is a market that rewards preparation, realistic expectations and a willingness to meet the data consistently.
If you are considering selling early next year or would like to explore an off-market strategy before the summer break, this is an ideal time to speak with an experienced advisor. Please get in touch with our team to discuss your plans and map out the best approach for your property.
