Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home or selling up to take your next step, understanding what’s happening in the Liverpool property market is key to making confident, informed decisions.
And if you’re a seller, timing is everything.
We’ve taken a close look at the latest market data and buyer behaviour across Liverpool -and what it means for local sellers in 2025.
The Liverpool market is shifting -but demand remains strong
Like many parts of the UK, Liverpool has seen some changes in pace recently. Rising interest rates and tighter budgets have naturally cooled the market slightly from the post-pandemic boom.
But it’s not all slow down.
Well-presented homes in good areas are still selling quickly -especially where pricing reflects current buyer expectations. And first-time buyers, in particular, are still active thanks to schemes like shared ownership and regional mortgage support.
Key areas with strong demand:
- L18 (Allerton and Mossley Hill)
- L7 (Edge Hill and Kensington)
- L17 (Aigburth)
- L1 & L3 (City centre apartments)
What’s happening to house prices?
According to the latest Land Registry data, Liverpool property prices have remained relatively stable in 2025, with modest year-on-year growth of around 2.4%.
That may sound small, but in a market where some UK cities are seeing dips, it shows resilience.
Sellers who are realistic and price strategically are still achieving strong results -often with multiple viewings in the first week of going live.
Average sale prices in Liverpool (2025):
- Detached: £352,000
- Semi-detached: £231,000
- Terraced: £155,000
- Flats: £132,000

What buyers are looking for right now
The pandemic changed buyer priorities -and many of those trends are still going strong.
Today’s buyers are looking for:
- Flexible space for home working
- Energy efficiency (think EPC ratings and smart meters)
- Outdoor space -gardens, balconies, or nearby parks
- Good transport links, especially for hybrid commuters
- Move-in ready homes with minimal DIY
If you’re selling, make sure you highlight these features in your marketing. We can help you bring out your home’s best angles with professional photography and local know-how.
Should I sell my Liverpool property now or wait?
With rates stabilising and buyers returning to the market, now could be a great time to sell –especially if you’re also buying and want to avoid price competition later on.
Waiting for higher prices might sound appealing, but with more homes expected to come to market in spring and summer 2026, competition could increase. Selling now, while demand remains healthy and stock is still relatively low, could work in your favour.
