Selling, Buying or Renting – The 2025 Property Market So Far

We’re a couple of months into 2025, and the property market is already making waves. Whether you’re selling your home, buying, or renting, it’s a dynamic time to make a move. With more properties hitting the market than we’ve seen in a decade, there’s a lot to unpack—so here’s what you need to know.

More Homes, More Choice

According to Rightmove, the number of available properties has reached a 10-year high. That means more choice for buyers and renters, and for sellers, it means a more competitive market. Homes that stand out on price, presentation, and marketing will be the ones that sell fastest.

At Bridges, we know what works—our expert valuation team ensures your home gets noticed for all the right reasons.

Sellers: Standing Out is Key

With more properties on the market, pricing your home correctly from day one is crucial. Buyers have more options, and an overpriced home risks being overlooked.

💡 Top Tip: Well-presented homes are selling quicker. Fresh paint, decluttering, and great photography make a big difference. If you’re thinking of selling, book a free, no-obligation market appraisal—let’s get your home market-ready!

Buyers: More Stock, More Opportunities

With more properties available, there’s less pressure to rush, but the best homes are still snapped up fast. Mortgage rates have stabilised, and some buyers who held off last year are now re-entering the market.

💡 Top Tip: Registering with a local agent (like us!) gives you the edge—you’ll hear about new properties before they hit the portals. Sign up for property alerts and stay ahead of the competition!

Renters: A Shifting Landscape

While more properties on the market means more choice for renters, demand is still high. The best homes are going quickly, and competition remains strong. If you’re looking to rent in Surrey, Hampshire, or Berkshire, we can help you secure your ideal home.

💡 Top Tip: Be prepared—have your paperwork ready and act fast when you find the right property! Browse available rental homes today.

What’s Next for 2025?

With increased stock and stabilising prices, confidence is returning to the market. Whether you’re buying, selling, or renting, it’s all about making the right moves at the right time.
