It’s fantastic to witness such strong activity across Tayside, with a wide variety of properties attracting buyers. The continued interest, even during the holidays, proves that when it comes to moving home, the market doesn’t take a Christmas break!

“Looking at the bigger picture, Q4 (October to December) has been a standout period for the property market. Sales surged by an impressive 21.5% compared to Q1 (January to March), signalling growing buyer confidence. Additionally, new listings increased by 6% compared to the same period last year, showing that sellers are equally optimistic about the market.
