Selling a House in York This Summer?
As we head into the summer months, many York homeowners are wondering whether now is the right time to sell. At Hudson Moody, we’ve been helping people move home across the city for nearly three decades, and we can confidently say that summer 2025 offers a good opportunity for the right properties.
Whether you're looking to upsize, relocate or simply explore your options, here’s what you need to know if you’re thinking of selling .
York Property Market: Summer 2025 at a Glance:
- Average property price in York: £320,000
- Detached homes: around £499,000
- Semi-detached: £327,000
- Terraced: £284,000
We’re seeing more movement in the market as mortgage rates continue to fall. Some buyers are now securing deals under 4%, which is giving first-time buyers and movers a welcome boost.
The most in-demand areas remain Bishopthorpe, Fulford, Bootham and South Bank, although there’s strong interest in villages just outside the city too.
Why Summer Sellers Are in a Strong Position
After the turbulence of the last couple of years , things have picked up. Here’s why sellers are feeling more confident:
- Lower mortgage rates are encouraging more people to look seriously at buying.
- There are more homes coming to market to choose from, but high-quality listings are still limited.
- Buyers are being selective, but well-presented homes with realistic asking prices are attracting offers quickly.
Tips to Prepare Your Home for a Summer Sale
Buyers in 2025 are doing their homework and comparing properties carefully. Here’s how to make sure yours stands out:
- Make a great first impression – Keep gardens tidy, clean the windows, and consider a fresh coat of paint on the front door to add to the curb appeal.
- Declutter – Clear surfaces and remove personal items to help buyers imagine themselves living there.
- Use quality marketing – Professional photos and floorplans really do make a difference and can add value to your home.
- Choose a local expert – An agent who knows your street can give you a big advantage.
At Hudson Moody, we know how to present your home in the best light and make sure it’s seen by the right buyers.
What Buyers Are Asking Right Now
We’re speaking to buyers every day, and there are some recurring questions:
- Can I walk to the station or city centre?
- Could I rent it out later?
- Is there potential to extend or modernise?
If you can provide clear answers to these in your listing and at viewings, you’re more likely to see serious interest.
