Healthy momentum continues as stock builds and buyer interest holds firm
The Dunbar property market is in a strong place this spring. While available stock is higher than it’s been for some time, a trend reflected across much of East Lothian, the number of homes going under offer each month remains steady and, in fact, continues to outpace 2024.
The latest data from Rightmove (see chart below) shows a clear uptick in activity over recent months. Sales agreed have been consistently healthy, holding up well even as stock levels rose; an encouraging sign that the market is functioning well. The recent increase in available homes can be attributed, in part, to a wave of new build instructions hitting the market in April.
What’s really positive is that demand remains strong alongside this increased choice. In April, the average daily views per Dunbar property on Rightmove sat at 64.2, already a strong number. However Umega’s listings in the area significantly outperformed that, generating 98 daily views per property. This high level of engagement reflects both our proactive marketing approach and the growing buyer interest in Dunbar.
The key takeaway for sellers
With stock levels high, pricing strategy is more important than ever. Buyers are active, but they have more to choose from – so getting your price right at launch can be the difference between a quick sale and a long wait.
Our Dunbar team is seeing strong results for homes that are well presented, competitively priced, and launched with energy. Whether you’re considering selling now or just want to understand your options, our local team is here to guide you through.
