Why Price Is Everything in Flintshire’s Market Right Now 💡📉
With more homes available than at any time in the last decade, buyers in Flintshire have options — and they’re being more selective than ever. That means one thing matters above all else when selling your home: getting the price right from day one.
In July, asking prices across Wales dipped by 1.2% — and sellers in Flintshire are already adjusting to stay competitive. But here’s the interesting part: while prices softened slightly, sales agreed are up 5% year-on-year, and buyer enquiries are up 6%. 📊
What does that tell us? Motivated sellers — those who launch at a realistic, competitive figure — are winning. Their homes attract more viewings, generate quicker offers, and often achieve stronger final prices than those who start too high and get ignored.
Buyers today are savvy. With so much choice on the market, they’ll scroll past overpriced listings in seconds. Once your home has been overlooked, reducing the price later rarely generates the same buzz as launching right in the sweet spot from the start. First impressions matter more than ever. 👀
For buyers, this shift is good news too. Affordability is improving: mortgage rates are now averaging 4.53% for a two-year fix, down from their 2024 highs. At the same time, wages are rising faster than both inflation and house prices, giving buyers more confidence to commit. This creates a healthier, more active market where deals are getting done. 🙌
For sellers, the takeaway couldn’t be clearer: price is everything. With more homes competing for attention, standing out doesn’t always mean spending more on marketing or staging (though those help) — it starts with the right valuation. At Keystone, we combine deep local market knowledge with real-time data to set a price that attracts buyers quickly and positions you for the best possible result.
In today’s Flintshire market, pricing too high risks your home sitting unsold. Pricing intelligently means faster sales, less stress, and stronger outcomes. 🏡✨
