Good News for Home Sellers: House Values Hold Strong
Recent figures bring welcome news for homeowners considering selling.
Despite a changing property market, most sellers across England and Wales are still achieving healthy profits, showing that confidence in the housing market remains well placed.
According to the latest data, the average seller is walking away with around £72,000 more than they originally paid for their home. Detached properties have led the way, selling for about £122,000 more on average, a rise of around 45%. Semi detached homes follow closely, with typical gains of about £80,000, while terraced houses have increased in value by just over £64,000.
Even after nearly a decade of ownership, these returns are strong and demonstrate that property remains one of the most reliable forms of investment. For sellers, it means that those years of careful upkeep and steady market growth are paying off.
Flats have seen a smaller rise, averaging around £27,000 in profit. While this figure is lower, it still highlights that even in more modest markets, property values continue to climb. The demand for space, gardens and flexible living continues to support house prices across the country, particularly for family homes.
For anyone thinking of selling, the message is clear: the market remains resilient. With good presentation, realistic pricing and the right marketing support, homeowners can take advantage of the current conditions and achieve a rewarding return on their investment.
