ESPC, the leading Scottish property portal, has revealed the ten properties for sale that were most popular with househunters on espc.com during November 2024.

The properties attracted over 54,000 online views between them and highlighted some interesting new trends emerging in the market. Half of the properties in the top ten were located in East Lothian, indicating strong interest in this ever-popular region, alongside three Edinburgh properties, one in Dunfermline and one in Midlothian.

Houses continued to dominate over flats, with eight of the most popular properties being houses and just two flats – although they were family-friendly with two or three bedrooms apiece.

After several months of properties in the higher echelons of budgets making the top ten in their droves, November’s most popular properties were largely more affordable, with eight of the ten priced at under £500,000. The most expensive property was priced at offers over £675,000 while the most affordable came in at offers over £139,950. Just two of the homes were listed for a fixed price, signalling high confidence from sellers that their homes could achieve strong selling prices on the market.

In a clear sign of how active the property market currently is, even as we head into the winter months, eight of the properties are already under offer, with two still available. All ten of the properties were in turnkey condition, clearly showing that buyers are looking for an easy transition into a new home that needs no renovation or refurbishment.

Paul Hilton, CEO of ESPC, commented: “The ten most popular properties on ESPC this month continue trends that we’ve been seeing over the last few months, if anything making them even clearer to see. Family-sized properties, whether houses or flats, are clearly dominating demand, and from the condition of the most-popular homes and their price tags, we can see that there are many young families and second-steppers in the market looking to ascend to that next stage of the property ladder as smoothly as possible. Renovation projects clearly aren’t what buyers are looking for at the moment, with perfectly polished properties driving the highest demand. It’s interesting to see so much demand for homes in East Lothian, while the Edinburgh properties attracting the most attention are unsurprisingly in incredibly popular areas including Portobello, Willowbrae and the city centre.”
