Huddersfield Property Market Update
If you’re watching the Huddersfield property market closely, the end of 2025 has been a really interesting time — one where the headline prices tell one story, but the underlying transactions tell another.
🏡 Supply & homes for sale
There are currently around 780 properties for sale across Huddersfield, which is about 4% fewer than this time last year.
That puts the market in a fairly balanced position.
We’re a long way from the pandemic squeeze of 2021, when supply was extremely tight, but we’re also not in an oversupplied market. Buyers have choice, but not so much that properties get lost in the noise.
Homes for sale have also fallen from October’s levels, which is exactly what you’d expect as we move into winter. Fewer people want to launch a sale when daylight shortens and Christmas approaches.
New listings in November dropped to just over 100 homes, down nearly 20% year-on-year, which tells us many sellers are either waiting for spring or have already made their move earlier in 2025.
💷 The pricing headline, and what’s really going on
Now, this is where the numbers need context.
The average asking price jumped sharply, to around £445,000, which on the surface looks dramatic.
But this isn’t uniform price growth across Huddersfield.
What’s really happening is a change in the mix of homes coming to market.
November saw a higher proportion of larger, higher-value homes in areas like Almondbury, Fixby, and the surrounding villages, rather than typical terraced or entry-level homes.
That interpretation is backed up by sales data.
Homes that actually sold agreed at an average of £326,000, which is virtually unchanged from last year so basically, buyers aren’t suddenly paying 30% more across the board.
The per square foot figure on agreed sales is up though, which shows buyers are prepared to pay more when the quality and location justify it.
📉 Sales activity: quieter, but it’s still healthy
November saw 115 sales agreed, slightly up on last year, but down on October — which is entirely normal for this time of year.
Importantly, that figure is miles better than late 2022, when activity almost stalled completely.
This tells us the Huddersfield market is still very much moving, it’s just more selective and measured.
🔧 How smoothly is the market working?
A few positive signs here:
• Fewer price changes, suggesting better initial pricing
• Withdrawals broadly stable, meaning sellers are sticking with their plans
• Fall-throughs slightly down, with around one in five deals not completing, which is fairly typical.
Overall, the market is functioning reasonably cleanly given the economic backdrop.
🧭 What this means
For sellers:
Huddersfield still has strong appeal, especially for character homes, village properties, and family houses with space.
But ambitious pricing without evidence will struggle. Homes priced realistically are selling, others are not.
For buyers:
There is choice, and no need to panic.
The gap between asking prices and achieved prices shows negotiation is still very much alive, especially if you’re well-prepared and flexible.
So to close things off, headline prices look punchy, but the real story is one of disciplined buyers, selective demand, and steady underlying value.
