Holbury's property market is shaped by its stable, older population and predominance of owner-occupied homes. These factors support long-term stability, but they may also mean slower market turnover and fewer spikes in demand. The affordability metrics, including a 6.4 ratio and £341,450 for three-bedroom houses, suggest that the area remains accessible to local buyers.
Rental investors will note the strong rental yields of 5.2% as a highlight, though the muted annual capital growth of -0.8% means expectations for rapid price gains should be tempered. Over the next 12 months, the market is likely to remain steady, with modest gains possible given the three-year annualised growth rate of 2.9%. Investors should expect a reliable but unspectacular market, with opportunities for value-focused buyers willing to be patient.
