Why Flintshire Homes Are Selling Faster Than Expected ⚡🏡

Across the UK, many markets are slowing — but not here. In Flintshire, homes are selling faster than anticipated, with motivated buyers and smart sellers driving momentum. Here’s why our local market is defying expectations in 2025.

While headlines often focus on a “cooling” UK property market, Flintshire is showing a different picture. In June, sales in our area surged ahead, outpacing both Welsh and UK-wide averages. The average home here now sells for £214,000, up 6.2% year-on-year, with more transactions moving from offer ➝ completion quicker than expected. 📈

So, what’s behind this surprising strength?

Realistic Pricing 💰: Sellers who launch their property at a smart, competitive figure are generating interest straight away. In today’s climate, overpriced homes sit unsold, but those priced to attract attention move fast.

Mortgage Relief 📉: Rates have eased back from their 2024 highs, now averaging around 4.5%. This has improved affordability, drawing more buyers into the market.

Lifestyle Drivers 🌳: Demand remains high from professionals and families seeking space, schools, and commuter access. Flintshire delivers all three — and at better value compared to neighbouring regions.

Stronger Buyer Confidence 🙌: With wages rising faster than inflation, buyers feel more secure making big decisions.

For sellers, this is great news. Homes marketed with strong photography, clear messaging, and intelligent pricing are securing more viewings and faster offers. For busy professionals who don’t want drawn-out sales, this can make the difference between a stressful process and a smooth move.

For buyers, the message is to be prepared. Competition is strongest for well-located, fairly priced homes, and these often go under offer within days. Being mortgage-ready and registered for alerts puts you ahead of the pack.

At Keystone, our proactive approach — from chasing solicitors to using AI-powered alerts — means our clients’ homes don’t just sell, they sell faster, and often for more. ⚡

Is It a Buyer’s or a Seller’s Market Right Now? 🤔

It’s one of the questions we get asked constantly here at Keystone: “So, is it a buyer’s market or a seller’s market right now?” It’s a great question — and the truth is, it’s not as black and white as it used to be. The property market isn’t just one big switch that flips between “buyer” and “seller.” 🏠
