Welcome to the November 2025 property market commentary for the local MK17 areas of Aspley Guise, Bow Brickhill, Great Brickhill, Little Horwood, and Woburn. As we move towards the end of the year, it's important to take stock of the market dynamics that have unfolded throughout the month.

In November, our analysis of 117 data points revealed some interesting trends within the local market. The average property sale price across these areas has settled at an impressive £440,318. This figure represents not only the value of the properties themselves, but also the confidence buyers have in our local market.

A key metric to highlight is the average price per square foot, which stands at £403 over the last six months. This figure provides a clearer insight into property valuation and reflects the demand for quality homes in our area. Whether it's a charming cottage in Bow Brickhill or a modern family home in Woburn, buyers are clearly willing to invest in properties that meet their needs.

With property sales seeing a turnover of 10%, it's evident that activity levels remain fairly robust. This turnover indicates that while some properties are taking longer to sell, there is still ample movement in our local market, suggesting that sellers are setting realistic prices and buyers are willing to make educated offers. The local market remains active, and we expect this trend to continue as we head into the new year.

The backdrop of the mortgage market is also gaining attention. The average two-year fixed mortgage rate currently sits at 4.19%. This rate has become an important factor for buyers, particularly first-time purchasers who are wary of potential interest rate fluctuations in the future. As affordability is often tied to mortgage rates, prospective homeowners are advised to explore their options and secure the best possible deals.

Moreover, the average household income in our area is reported at £59,900, which reflects the economic vitality of our local communities. Strong incomes in the local market can positively contribute to property values, lending confidence to both buyers and sellers during the negotiating process.

As we approach the festive season, it's interesting to consider how the local property market often experiences a slowing pace during December. However, for motivated buyers and sellers, the end of the year can also present unique opportunities. Families looking to move before the start of the new school term in January often seek to complete transactions before the holidays, which may stimulate some interest during this typically quieter time.

This month, we've also seen a variety of property types garner interest in local areas. From period properties filled with character in Woburn to contemporary new builds in Great Brickhill, there's something for every type of buyer in the local market. It's important for those considering a move to stay attuned to market changes, as the landscape can shift quickly.

As we move into December, our predictions for the local property market suggest that while activity may slow slightly, motivated buyers and sellers will continue to engage. The importance of accurate and timely market data cannot be underestimated in helping you make informed decisions.
