December Housing Market Update: A Positive Outlook

Posted on Tuesday, December 31, 2024

As we wrap up the year, we’re reflecting on what’s been a remarkable 12 months for the housing market in Holmfirth and Huddersfield. Despite national headlines often pointing to market challenges, the local property market has remained resilient—and even thriving in certain areas!

According to the latest statistics from Rightmove, the average asking price for properties in Yorkshire and the Humber has seen a steady 3% increase compared to last year. Locally, Holmfirth and Huddersfield have mirrored this trend, with demand particularly high for family homes and character properties—two features that our stunning area offers in abundance.

Traditionally, December is seen as a quieter time for the property market, but this year has proven otherwise. Zoopla recently reported a 17% increase in buyer activity compared to December 2022, as motivated buyers look to make their next move before the new year. For sellers, this means a fantastic opportunity to market your property to an engaged audience.
