The West End in Edinburgh was the top location by average selling price so far in 2021, with an average selling price of £590,913. It was followed by the exclusive areas of Grange and Greenbank at £517,757 and £517,709 respectively.
However, it was Warriston in Edinburgh North that saw the greatest year-on-year increase in average selling price over the first six months of the year. The average selling price so far in 2021 is £394,519.
Top areas by property sales volume
The popular Edinburgh hotspot of Leith boasted the highest volume of property sales so far this year. This was closely followed by the historic Fife town of Dunfermline and the Edinburgh suburb of Corstorphine.
There was also a significant number of sales in Musselburgh and Liberton.
Top areas by the number of property listings
It was the popular Fife town of Dunfermline which saw the greatest number of properties coming to market in the first six months of this year, with a significant rise on the previous year which is to be expected given the lockdown restrictions of 2020.
Leith, Corstorphine, Musselburgh and Liberton also made the top five in terms of the number of new listings. This is unsurprising considering they also boasted the highest volumes of property sales.

The median time for properties in Niddrie to be placed under offer was just eight days in the first six months of 2021. Properties in Coldstream in the Borders had a median selling time of nine days as did homes in Parkhead.
