Property Market Reporty for the H1 (First Half) of 2025 and Q2 Report

🎯 H1 2025 Property Market Summary: Cadishead, Birchwood & Rixton
By Oliver James, your local property investigator (and occasional Rightmove addict)

If you thought 2025 was going to be a slow burner, think again. The first half of the year across Cadishead, Birchwood and Rixton has been a tale of tighter stock, smarter sellers, and buyers who still mean business even if they’re playing it cool.

Across all three areas, we’ve seen fewer homes for sale than the same period last year down 30% in Cadishead and 12% in Birchwood  yet new listings inched up or held firm, showing sellers haven’t disappeared, they’re just being more selective (or smarter).

Buyer activity? Still strong. Cadishead saw a 15% rise in sales agreed, and although Birchwood and Rixton didn’t break volume records, the deals that did happen were solid and priced with confidence. In fact, average sale prices rose across the board:

• Cadishead: up 6.8%

• Birchwood: up 16%

• Rixton: steady and realistic

£ per square foot? Sellers are aiming higher, and buyers are stepping up Birchwood hit £280/sq ft sold, Cadishead £263, and Rixton held its ground.

And here’s a stat to make any seller smile: price reductions and fall-throughs were down in every area. Translation? Homes are selling, and deals are sticking when priced right.

Bottom Line:
Stock is slimmer, prices are stronger, and serious buyers are still in the market. This isn’t a time for guessing it’s a time for guidance. Strategy is beating speculation in 2025.
