East Lothian continues to be one of Scotland’s most desirable places to live.

A recent report by the Registers of Scotland (RoS) showed that, in 2025 alone, 2,596 residential properties were sold across the county with an average price of £322,622 – significantly higher than the Scottish average of £232,011.

In fact, according to the RoS house price statistics, East Lothian recorded the third-highest mean property price in Scotland, behind only East Renfrewshire and the City of Edinburgh. Demand remains strong, and the local market continues to perform well for sellers.

Paris Steele played a key role in that success. In 2025, we sold 148 properties, representing an 8% increase on the previous year. Furthermore, the total value of residential sales handled by Paris Steele rose by 15.9% year-on-year – nearly double the Scottish average increase of 8.4%. These figures reflect our proactive marketing, accurate pricing strategies and commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Speed and value matter when selling your home. In 2025, it took Paris Steele on average just 26 days to procure an offer on properties listed with us. This compares to roughly 34 days on average across Scotland. Our clients also achieved an average of 102.3% of Home Report valuation, outperforming the ESPC regional average of 101.8% across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and the Scottish Borders.

We note that the East Lothian market is evolving. While detached homes led demand in 2024, 2025 saw terraced houses become the most popular property type for buyers, followed closely by flats – highlighting the importance of expert advice tailored to current buyer trends.
