A closer look into the housing market across Tayside

Exclusive data from TSPC shows that the average selling price across Tayside rose to £190,026, a substantial 6% increase compared to 2024.

The median selling time for properties was 26 days, which is one day faster than the average selling time recorded in 2024. This indicates that homes are moving slightly more quickly, suggesting steady demand and a more active market. For sellers, this points to improved momentum and a favourable environment for well-priced properties.

Whilst we saw a drop in the percentage of properties going to a closing date this can be beneficial for both buyers and sellers. For buyers, fewer properties reaching a closing date often reflects a more balanced market, giving them increased negotiating power, more flexibility with conditions, and less pressure from intense competition. For sellers, while competition may be slightly reduced, the shift encourages realistic pricing and attracts more qualified, committed buyers, helping ensure smoother transactions and reducing the risk of deals falling through late in the process.

Regional pricing trends

Property values continue to vary depending on location, offering something for a range of budgets across the region.

Despite seeing a substantial 9% increase in average selling price, Brechin, Edzell, Stracathro, and Trinity continue to offer the most affordable properties, with an average selling price of £154,628. Dundee, including Invergowrie, follows, where prices climbed 6% year-on-year to reach an average of £160,267.
