The start of a new year always brings questions, expectations and a fair bit of noise around the property market. January is traditionally a month where we begin to see buyer sentiment settle, intentions become clearer, and momentum start to build - and Flintshire has been no different.
In this latest market update, Ben and Sammie break down exactly how the local Flintshire property market has performed in January, what we’re seeing on the ground, and what this could mean if you’re thinking about making a move in 2026 👀
One of the key themes this month has been serious, motivated buyers. While activity levels naturally vary at the beginning of the year, we’re seeing buyers who are well-prepared, financially organised, and ready to act when the right property comes to market ✅ This is especially important for sellers to understand — the right pricing and presentation strategy is more critical than ever.
📈 Pricing remains a major talking point
We’re seeing continued demand for well-presented homes that are priced realistically for the current market. Properties that align with buyer expectations are attracting strong interest, viewings, and in many cases, competitive offers. On the flip side, homes that miss the mark on pricing or preparation are taking longer to gain traction ⏳
This is why up-to-date, hyper-local market knowledge matters. National headlines rarely reflect what’s actually happening street by street — and Flintshire continues to show resilience, particularly for sellers who take a strategic approach.
🏠 What does this mean if you’re thinking of selling?
January’s activity highlights a real opportunity for homeowners who are considering a move this year. Buyers are active, stock levels remain selective, and demand is there for the right homes. However, success depends on understanding your true market position, not just online estimates or hearsay.
That’s where accurate data, honest advice, and clear communication make all the difference.
