Burnley Property Market Shifts: The Key to Selling in 2025
The Burnley housing market is changing. Over the past three years, the number of homes for sale locally has risen by 21%, giving buyers more choice than they’ve had in years. But what does this mean for homeowners looking to sell? Let’s explore how this shift compares to national trends - and why smart pricing is now the key to a successful sale.
In the last three years, the number of homes for sale in Burnley has risen by 21%. Interesting when compared to the national stats, where the stock of homes available has climbed from 478,055 to 736,333, an increase of around 54%.
On the surface, this surge nationally may look alarming. More homes on the market might feel like there is less chance of standing out as a seller. However, context is everything. If we look back to 2008, during the financial crisis, there were around 1.3 million homes for sale across the UK. Compared to that, today’s market is still tighter.
What does this mean for Burnley homeowners? Quite simply, choice has returned to the market. Buyers no longer feel the same urgency they did during the post-pandemic boom, because there are more homes competing for their attention. As a result, realistically priced homes are the ones that sell.
At a national level, just over one in two homes that come to the market will find a buyer. That makes it vital to price your home smartly from day one. In this market, unrealistic asking prices quickly get left behind, while competitively priced homes attract offers and sell faster.
For anyone considering selling in Burnley, the message is clear: the market is still active, but pricing strategy is more important than ever.
