MK45 Market Update: A Positive and Balanced Year for the MK45 Property Market
The MK45 housing market has shown strength in 2025, with steady sales, more homes coming to market, and prices holding firm. Our latest blog looks at how activity compares with last year and what’s influencing buyers as we head towards the November Budget and into 2026.
As we move towards the end of 2025, we’re pleased to report that the MK45 housing market has remained stable, active, and full of opportunity. Despite national uncertainty, our local market has demonstrated strength and resilience — and we’ve continued helping buyers and sellers make successful moves throughout the year.
Sales Holding Steady
Between January and October 2025, the number of sales agreed in MK45 has risen by 0.3% compared to the same period last year. In a market where many predicted slowdowns, we see this as a very positive sign that buyers remain confident and committed.
More Homes Coming to Market
One of the most encouraging shifts we’ve seen is the 15% increase in new properties coming to market — from 1,129 this time last year to 1,297 in 2025.
This shows that many homeowners still feel this is the right time to move, and buyers now have a greater range of choice than in previous years.
More Price Reductions — But There’s a Reason
Price reductions are up by 35%, but this figure can easily be misunderstood. Many reductions relate to properties entering the market at optimistic levels, rather than declining values. It is understandable that some sellers have an expectation that prices will rise every year but after 4 years of a post-COVID sellers market pushing prices up way above inflation we are now seeing the market finding it's level as we shift from a sellers to a more even market.
Prices this year have largely levelled off, both locally and nationally — supported by Rightmove’s reporting that average UK prices have remained broadly static in 2025.
A stable market means:
- Sensibly priced homes continue to attract strong interest
- Buyers feel more confident making offers
- Sales progress steadily without artificial inflation
All signs of a healthy market.
Looking Ahead
The MK45 market has performed consistently well in 2025. With stable prices, steady sales, and rising stock levels, we feel optimistic heading into 2026.
The Upcoming Budget
We are all waiting on next weeks budget with many rumours and apparent 'leaks' full of doom and gloom and while we have seen buyers being more hesitant over the last few weeks we are finding serious buyers still viewing and offers continue to come forward. Our own view is that any changes the Government wishes to make to the housing market it is unlikely they will want to derail the market - people moving house help the economy during the process but also after as people do work to their new property and make new purchases - let us not forget the amount of tax they receive in Stamp Duty, VAT etc.
If you’re thinking of moving — whether soon or next year — we’d be happy to offer advice, guidance, and a free valuation.
