As we reflect on the local property market for December 2025, it's clear that the landscape is continuing to shift, revealing insights that are as intriguing as they are significant. After carefully analysing 222 data points, we've observed some compelling trends that will help both buyers and sellers navigate this vibrant market.
One standout statistic is the average price per square foot, which has settled at an impressive £435 over the last six months. This figure not only highlights the desirability of properties in our local areas, including Aston Abbotts, Bierton, Drayton Beauchamp, Wendover, and Wingrave, but it also marks a steady foundation for potential investments.
As for the average property sale price, the figures indicate a robust market at £477,527. This represents a healthy valuation for homes, reflecting ongoing demand that is bolstered by both lifestyle choices and the amenities available in our local areas. The mixture of charming villages and convenient access to nearby towns continues to attract a range of buyers, from families seeking more space to young professionals looking for a quaint escape.
Sales turnover for December stands at a noteworthy 23%, illustrating an energetic marketplace despite the seasonal slowdown typically associated with this time of year. This robust figure suggests a confident buyer base that is keen to make their moves ahead of the new year. On the other hand, it does also present sellers with an excellent opportunity; those looking to put their homes on the market might find a receptive audience eager to secure their ideal property.
In observing the mortgage landscape, we see that the average two-year fixed mortgage rate has stabilised at 4.19%. Buyers are navigating this landscape with a focus on securing their finances efficiently. While rates have seen fluctuations, many buyers seem prepared to adapt to the current economic climate, allowing them to set their sights on achieving home ownership.
Complementing these figures, the average household income in our local market has been reported at £61,200. This income level aligns reasonably well with the property prices we're seeing, providing a sound basis for many families and individuals to consider their options for buying or moving up the property ladder. It's an encouraging sign that the market can sustain itself, as more local residents harness their financial capabilities to invest in their futures.
While we remain optimistic about the ongoing trends, the local market is not without its challenges. Potential buyers often express concerns about affordability, particularly in a market where prices have seen steady growth. However, it's essential to note that while purchasing a home is a significant investment, the value of property tends to appreciate over time, making it a viable long-term strategy.
We also advise sellers that now could be a propitious time to consider listing their properties. The combination of a 23% turnover and engaged buyers creates an environment where your property could stand out to potential homeowners looking for a new place to call home in the local areas.
