Regional Property Market Update Autumn 2020: Northern Ireland
Each year around 4% of private housing changes ownership as people move home across the UK. A swathe of activity over the summer, fuelled by home movers seeking a change, means sales levels for 2020 are likely to be better than many expected.
The most active housing markets in Northern Ireland are currently in Ards and North Down, and Lisburn and Castlereagh, where over 4% of private housing has exchanged hands over the past year.
Home movers have led the resurgence in sales activity, COVID-19 changing buyer priorities
Strongest housing markets across Northern Ireland
Property prices across Northern Ireland were 3.0% higher year-on-year as the housing market reopened in June. Antrim and Newtownabbey is currently the top performer in the area. Activity across the UK has been brisk; nationally the average time taken to sell a property fell to 53 days this August, down from 62 days in August 2019. Sensible pricing remains crucial; correctly priced properties are nearly twice as likely to be sold ‘subject to contract’ within four months of listing than those that have had their asking price reduced. Homes in the UK are selling, on average, nine days quicker than a year ago.
