As we transition into 2025, Aberdeen's property market continues to evolve, presenting both challenges and opportunities for homeowners and investors. The importance of home staging has become even more pronounced in this changing landscape.
Market Trends Entering 2025
The Aberdeen housing market has shown mixed signals as we enter the new year. While there was a 1.6% decline in average property prices during Q3 2024, transaction volumes surged by 9.8% in the same period. This increase in activity, with 1,518 residential transactions taking place, suggests a growing appetite for property despite price fluctuations.
Price Variations Across Property Types
Different property types are experiencing varied trends:
- Detached homes saw a significant decrease, with prices falling by almost £5,000 in three months.
- Flats decreased from £123,761 to £123,329.
- Semi-detached properties declined from £190,792 to £187,667.
These variations highlight the need for targeted staging strategies for different property types.
Economic Factors Influencing the Market
As we move into 2025, several factors are shaping Aberdeen's property landscape:
- The Peterhead Carbon Capture project is expected to contribute significantly to the local economy, potentially boosting the property market.
- New oil licences and government support for the North Sea oil industry may stabilise job markets, affecting housing demand.
- Aberdeen currently offers attractive investment potential, with yields for one-bedroom properties reaching almost 8%, significantly higher than the UK average of 4.75%.
What's This Got to do with Home Staging?..
In this transitional market, home staging has become crucial:
- With over 2,000 properties currently on the market in Aberdeen, staging can help sellers stand out.
- As the market shows signs of increased activity, well-staged homes are more likely to capitalise on this trend.
- Staging can help mitigate the effects of price decreases by showcasing a property's full potential.
So, Why Staging Rooms...
Every home has distinctive features that set it apart, and unlike many other staging companies we offer a bespoke, customised design to highlight your property's unique selling points, whether it's a charming period fireplace or a modern open-plan kitchen.
We address property-specific challenges, transforming awkward layouts into attractive features while maximising the use of space. By targeting the right buyer demographic—be it families in Cults or young professionals in city centre flats—we ensure our staging appeals directly to the most likely audience. Additionally, we reflect the local context and adapt to the property's age and style, whether it's a contemporary apartment in the harbour area or a traditional granite home in Rubislaw.
Our bespoke process begins with an initial assessment, leading to a customised staging plan that resonates with potential buyers. With flexible implementation and ongoing evaluation, we showcase each property in its best light, helping sellers achieve optimal results in this ever-changing market. By rejecting the notion of a one-size-fits-all approach, we ensure that every staged home tells its own unique story, appealing directly to its ideal buyer and maximising return on investment.
By adapting to current market conditions and incorporating the latest design trends, sellers can enhance their properties' appeal, potentially accelerating sales and maximising value in this dynamic market.
