Approaching the End of the First Quarter of 2025: Insights from Perthshire’s Property Market 

As the first quarter of 2025 draws to a close, the Perthshire property market has shown an unexpectedly swift start to the year. Traditionally, spring ushers in the bustling activity of property transactions, as increased listings inspire buyers and sellers alike to make their move. This year, however, has been different – ahead of schedule, with a wave of activity well before spring has reached its peak.

The early year enthusiasm has encouraged many to list their properties before stepping into the market as buyers themselves. It’s now common for offers subject to sale to be granted four to six weeks to allow for the completion of the buyer’s property sale. However, sellers retain the discretion to decide whether or not to pause marketing during this period.

Activity spans the full spectrum of the market, from properties requiring a complete renovation to breathtaking homes with asking prices exceeding £1,000,000. Competitive closing dates have been a recurring theme, with some properties achieving outstanding results due to competitive bidding.

Meanwhile, new-build homes remain a key area of interest, as buyers are drawn to modern designs, high-quality finishes, and the ever-important focus on energy efficiency.

Looking ahead to the warmer months of spring and summer, the property market in Perthshire is brimming with optimism. Success continues to hinge on realistic asking prices, compelling property presentation, and the right professional advice to guide clients through the process.
