We are pleased to present the Northern Ireland Housing Market Update: Q4 2025 which highlights insights and trends shaping the Northern Ireland housing market over the last 3 months.
“Northern Ireland’s housing market ended the year on a strong footing, with steady sales volumes and the fastest price growth across the UK. There were approximately 5,500 newly agreed sales recorded in the quarter, broadly in line with long-term averages, and house prices have grown by 6.4% year-on-year.
“Overall sentiment has improved following increased certainty from the Winter Budget and the Bank of England’s interest rate cut in December, which has already begun feeding through to more favourable mortgage conditions. Markets continue to price in further rate reductions over the coming year, which will further support affordability.
“However, supply-side constraints remain a key challenge. While it’s encouraging that 2025 saw a 6% increase in resale listings, giving buyers more choice and contributing to overall market activity, new homes supply remains well below historic norms. This continues to be a critical policy concern and will constrain growth across 2026.
“Based on current indicators, we expect continued growth in both prices and sales volumes through the early months of 2026 and across the year more generally.”
PropertyPal's latest housing market review published in October 2025 outlines the current average sales price in Northern Ireland to be £235,035.00. Our own district Newry, Mourne and Down continues to perform above well with an average sale price for the district of £258,212.00 an 7.1% increase on the 12 months previous.
With over 20 years experience in the property industry, more specifically the sourcing industry, Aaron has built a foundation of a skillset & network in order to help the clients of KPS Group achieve the best results within their property investments.

Buying & Selling Advice
Up to 3,000 people buy a home every month. 90% of those who are selling get advice from an estate agent but most buyers think they can do it all themselves. Of course not everyone thinks they can afford or justify a bespoke buying service but now you can get help from my new Agent Advisor service. Help for anyone looking to transfer their pension pot or to buy or sell, to rent or let all for £500 plus VAT.
Customised Buying Service
We look for homes and development sites and seek to acquire them on behalf of our clients. As far as the law is concerned, I am an estate agent – In this instance, we act for buyers, not sellers. Some clients just want help looking for a new home, some want help to evaluate a property and to negotiate the best deal. Buying a home or development plot is one of the biggest decisions you have to make in life, and it really is worth putting in the effort to make sure you get it right. Too many people make mistakes in buying homes and land, which can affect your well-being, be a major hassle - and be very expensive.
Of course many people start off asking too much for their home or land and a third of sellers currently on the market have reduced their guide price at least once.
