There were a few other indicators for a steady, maturing\u00a0market in ESPC\u2019s report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The median property selling time was 22 days, a day slower than the same period last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

22.2% of homes struggled to find a buyer and went to a closing date, an increase from the 21.8% from last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Midlothian saw the greatest rise in property sale prices, with properties selling for 102.1% \u2013 up by 1% from the previous year \u2013 while West Lothian, and East Lothian both also saw growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Edinburgh, demand for housing remained high, but this was particularly pronounced in Broughton, Bonnington, and Blackhall, where sale prices spiked year-on-year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0city of Edinburgh itself, the average selling price of properties rose to \u00a3314,321 \u2013 an increase of just 1.6%, while prices in West Lothian skyrocketed to \u00a3327,682 \u2013 an increase of 16.3% year-on-year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Grange\u00a0remains\u00a0Edinburgh\u2019s most expensive neighbourhood, with house prices sitting at an eyewatering average of \u00a3594,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was an overall drop by 6.6% in properties coming to market, but with just 0.3% less sales than last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Corstorphine and Leith in Edinburgh remained incredibly popular for property buyers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On what these statistics mean for the property market in Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife, and The Borders, ESPC CEO Paul Hilton said:\u00a0\u201cThe late summer and early autumn months have shown encouraging signs of steady growth and resilience across Edinburgh, the Lothians,\u00a0Fife\u00a0and the Borders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur latest report also highlights a market that is maturing, with buyers making more measured decisions and sellers\u00a0maintaining\u00a0confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cProperties continue to sell close to Home Report valuation \u2013 averaging 102.1% \u2013 identical to last year. This points to a stable and balanced environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we have seen a modest decrease in the number of homes coming to market, sellers\u00a0appear to be\u00a0optimistic, with\u00a0the vast majority of\u00a0properties \u2013 over 84% \u2013 marketed on an \u2018offers over\u2019 basis, up notably from last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, these results\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0a steady and confident market that continues to offer opportunities for both buyers and sellers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowth may be more measured than in previous years, but stability and balance are welcome signs of a healthy property landscape across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and the Borders.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the past few decades, Edinburgh property prices increased exponentially, leading to fears that the city was becoming unaffordable for many.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From 2013-2023, property prices in Edinburgh increased by 93.1% for detached homes and 58.4% for flats.<\/p>\n
