Have you noticed? The Lancaster property market is showing signs of warming up again 🔥
After the rapid highs of 2021 and 2022, where we saw seller confidence soar, things have started to balance out. But here’s the interesting bit – we’re now moving into a new phase, and it’s a more measured one.
📊 The Market in Numbers
Let’s look at the latest figures. According to the data:
- In 2025, 34% of homes are selling – a slight dip from 36% in 2024, but still significantly above the low point of just 20% in 2020.
- Almost half of agents (47%) believe house prices will remain steady in the next 3 months.
- Meanwhile, 38% expect prices to rise 📈 – a key sign that confidence is returning.
This isn’t a return to boom-and-bust. Instead, what we’re seeing is a market that’s gradually gaining traction again. Forecasts suggest a 1.6% rise in house prices by the end of 2025, climbing to 2.0% in 2026. That might not sound huge – but in this environment, it’s steady and sustainable growth. And that’s exactly what Lancaster needs.
🏡 What This Means for Lancaster Homeowners
In Lancaster, where the average house price sits around £181,636, these changes offer both opportunity and challenge. With more stock on the market, buyers now have a greater choice – but that also means sellers must work harder to stand out.
The key? Realistic pricing from day one. Gone are the days of wildly ambitious asking prices. Homes that are priced sensibly are attracting the most attention – especially when combined with strong marketing and professional presentation.
💬 Our Advice
If you’re thinking of selling, now is the time to be smart, not just optimistic. With interest rates likely to ease and more buyers re-entering the market, Lancaster’s housing scene is getting more competitive – in a good way!
