September Market Comment
By Jamie Dyer
Stroud Senior Branch Manager
"September proved to be a very successful month for sales, with a 12% increase in sales agreed across Stroud and the surrounding villages.
While we’ve seen a slight dip in the number of buyers entering the market and in the number of viewings, the buyers we are engaging with are highly motivated, which is leading to faster sales and an overall positive effect on the property market.
Stock levels remain high, meaning that realistic and competitive pricing continues to be key in securing serious interest from potential buyers and getting your property sold.
Stroud remains as desirable as ever, thanks to its outstanding schools, beautiful countryside and excellent transport links via both rail and motorway. The town’s vibrant community spirit also continues to attract buyers from far and wide, with its renowned farmers market, lively arts scene and a wide array of festivals and live music events contributing to its ongoing appeal.
With a steady flow of motivated buyers and a strong sense of local desirability, we expect to see continued success as we move into the final quarter of the year."

Whilst we’ve seen a slight decline in the number of instructions, the volume of agreed sales continues to rise. With less competition on the market and a high likelihood of achieving a sale, now could be the ideal time to list your property if you’re hoping to move during the winter months.
Following last month's increase, the property market remains strong with further growth to a total increase of 13% .Demand across the city continues to push prices up here.
Figures show Cheltenham's market has begun to cool down, but prices continue to rise in this ever-popular town.
Whilst the decrease cited above relates to the whole of the Stroud property market, this hasn't been our experience. Across the properties instructed to sell by our Stroud office, we've seen average prices actually increase by 4% and a 67% increase in total sales.
Following on from last month's increase, our 2 Worcester offices continue to see growth in the number of instructions as well as an increase in the number of sales. Worcester's property market is truly thriving.
The numbers above relate to the areas covered by The Property Centre, comparing January to September 2025 with the same period last year (data source Rightmove).
