East Lothian Property Market on the Rise: Why Now is a Great Time to Sell
East Lothian has once again confirmed its reputation as one of Scotland’s most sought-after places to live. The latest ESPC House Price Report shows that the average selling price in the area has jumped by an impressive 12.1% compared to last year, taking the average to £303,786. This growth outpaces every other region across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and the Borders, and highlights just how strong demand is for homes in East Lothian.
Buyers are being drawn to the area for its excellent quality of life, coastal setting and easy access to Edinburgh. From family houses in Haddington and Dunbar to popular starter homes in Musselburgh, demand is widespread. With properties in East Lothian continuing to attract strong interest, sellers are in an excellent position.
What this means for sellers
For homeowners considering a move, these figures are very positive. Strong buyer demand means properties are selling well, often at competitive prices, with many achieving more than their Home Report valuation. The combination of rising prices and steady selling times provides confidence for those thinking of putting their property on the market.
