The UK housing market experienced a surge in activity in 2024, with nearly half of all listed properties either receiving an offer or being sold subject to contract1<\/sup>. This trend highlights growing confidence among both buyers and sellers, driving strong competition in many cities.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Regional hotspots lead the way<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Sunderland saw the biggest increase, with a 10% rise in homes finding buyers compared to the start of the year. Leicester followed closely with a 9% jump, while Liverpool (8%), Newcastle (7%) and Leeds (6%) also recorded strong market growth. Other cities with high demand included Manchester, Sheffield and Bristol. In contrast, Aberdeen saw the smallest rise in buyer activity at just 0.2%. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

London\u2019s slower pace<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Despite remaining active, London lagged behind other major cities, with market activity increasing by just 3.3%. While the capital continues to attract buyers, its growth has been more measured compared to other regions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
