🏡 May 2025 Market Update – Local Property Trends Across Sittingbourne
As we move into June, we’ve taken a deep dive into the latest data and trends shaping the local property market across Sittingbourne and its surrounding areas. After reviewing 227 verified data points, we’ve gained clear insights into how the market is performing—and what this means for homeowners, buyers, and investors alike.
💷 Property Values Hold Strong
The average price per square foot across the Sittingbourne area currently sits at £337. This healthy figure reflects the continued strength and stability of the local market, particularly in areas such as Milton Regis, Kemsley, Borden, Murston, and Snipeshill.
With pricing holding firm, this is a promising time for:
Sellers looking to maximise their property's value
Buyers hoping to secure a home in a stable, well-performing market
🏠 Average Sale Price & Affordability
In May, the average sale price in the local market was £298,238. When balanced against the local average household income of £49,700, this suggests the market remains accessible and sustainable for many buyers—whether first-time purchasers or families upsizing.
📈 Turnover & Buyer Activity
One of the most encouraging indicators is the 25% sales turnover rate, meaning a quarter of listed properties sold last month. This high level of movement speaks to:
Strong buyer demand
A confident, active marketplace
A good chance of success for those considering listing their home
🏦 Mortgage Rates & Buyer Confidence
Mortgage rates continue to influence buyer decisions. The average two-year fixed rate currently sits at 4.54%. While this is above historic lows, it has stabilised in recent months, giving buyers more certainty when planning their purchases.
Many are taking advantage of fixed rates to lock in manageable monthly payments, with this predictability helping to maintain buyer activity despite wider economic shifts.
📊 In Summary: A Healthy Market with Clear Opportunities
Across Sittingbourne—and especially in sought-after areas like Milton Regis, Kemsley, Borden, Murston, and Snipeshill—the market is showing all the signs of steady, sustainable growth. Balanced property values, consistent sales turnover, and engaged buyers point toward a dynamic and healthy environment for both buyers and sellers.
