In July this year, we launched a Jesmond home through our social media channels. Within 24 hours it achieved an offer £10,000 over the asking price. The sale completed in just under eight weeks from July through to September. That result did not happen by chance, it happened because we positioned the property correctly, marketed it to the right audience, and acted quickly when interest turned into offers.
It is a perfect example of what is possible in 2025 if you take the right approach to selling.
What the market is really telling us
The “average house price” in Newcastle sat at around £206,000 in July 2025, an increase of 8.5% on the year before. That figure alone will not mean much to most homeowners, since very few properties are actually “average”. A Jesmond townhouse, a Gosforth semi and a city-centre flat can all sit hundreds of thousands of pounds apart.
But while the number itself is not representative of your individual home, the direction of change matters. An increase is a sign of confidence and growing demand, while a fall suggests caution. Right now, prices are rising, not at boom levels but rising nonetheless and that signals positive sentiment across the North East. We have seen that confidence first-hand this summer, with homes in Jesmond, Gosforth, Longbenton and Heaton attracting multiple offers and in some cases selling above asking price.
How to achieve the strongest result in 2025
From experience, the difference between an average sale and a standout one comes down to four things:
1. Price with precision
We do not pluck figures out of the air or rely on rough averages. We use detailed comparables and local knowledge to set a price that attracts attention and creates urgency, just like we did in Jesmond this summer.
2. Presentation matters
Buyers connect emotionally with a home in the first few seconds. Professional photography, lifestyle video and staging advice turn curiosity into viewings. Our campaigns are designed to make your property stand out online and in person.
3. Marketing reach
Listing on portals is only the beginning. We push homes through our buyer database, targeted social media campaigns and tailored content. Our recent success shows the power of reaching the right people in the right places quickly.
4. Negotiation and timing
When multiple offers come in, how you handle them makes all the difference. We have often added £10,000 to £20,000 above asking by managing interest carefully and negotiating with both speed and strategy.
Why being active pays off
Selling in 2025 is not passive. The homes that achieve the best results are those launched with a clear plan, strong marketing and hands-on negotiation. When we work with sellers, we treat each home as unique, with its own story, its own buyer pool and its own best route to sale.
