James Du Pavey have shared their latest update on the housing market in Stone and Eccleshall.
Here at James Du Pavey Estate Agents, we’re often asked whether the property market has slowed down. Based on what we’re seeing every day in Stone and Eccleshall, the answer is a clear no.
The local market has started 2025 in great shape. Buyer demand is strong, viewing levels are high, and well-priced homes are attracting excellent interest. Many sellers are achieving successful sales within sensible timescales, and in some cases we’re still seeing competitive situations where the right property comes to market.
Prices Are Still Moving in the Right Direction
House prices across the UK have continued to rise over the past year, with average values increasing by around 3% year-on-year. The West Midlands has performed even more strongly, with prices up by approximately 4%, reinforcing the region’s long-term appeal and resilience.
This upward movement is being reflected locally. Stone and Eccleshall remain highly sought-after places to live, and that demand is continuing to support prices, particularly for family homes, character properties, and well-located houses close to schools and amenities.
Buyers Are Active and Motivated
Mortgage approvals remain steady and buyer confidence has improved as interest rates have stabilised. The result is a market driven by serious, motivated buyers, many of whom are ready to move once the right property becomes available.
From our experience on the ground, homes that are launched to the market at the right price and presented well are attracting strong levels of interest early on. This is helping sellers achieve good results without unnecessary delays.
Why Now Is a Fantastic Time to Sell
With prices holding firm, demand strong, and stock levels still relatively limited in popular local areas, this is a very positive moment for sellers. Many homeowners are choosing to act now to take advantage of:
- Healthy buyer demand
- Continued price growth
- Less competition than later in the year
- A motivated market heading into spring
Getting your property on the market sooner rather than later can put you in a strong position as buyer activity continues to build.
