CM9 House Market Update - June 2025 vs June 2026
A look at how the Maldon housing market has changed from June 2025 to June 2026, and what today’s more competitive market means for local buyers and sellers.
Maldon Housing Market: June 2025 vs June 2026
As a local estate agent working in Maldon and across the CM9 area every day, we feel it is useful to share what we are seeing in the market, not just from a national point of view, but from what is actually happening locally.
Whether you are thinking of selling, buying, or simply keeping an eye on local property values, having a clear picture of the market can help you make better decisions.
Looking at Rightmove Plus data for CM9, the market in June 2026 remains active, but it is clearly more competitive than it was during the same period last year.
In June 2025, there were 113 new properties listed for sale, 77 price changes and 72 sales agreed.
In June 2026, during the same period, there have been 102 new listings, 70 price changes and 52 sales agreed.
So, while the number of homes coming to the market has only dropped slightly, the number of sales being agreed has fallen more noticeably.
That does not mean the market has stopped. Good homes are still selling, buyers are still viewing, and offers are still being made. But buyers do have more choice, and they are taking a more considered approach before committing.
For sellers, this means price is key.
In a more competitive market, the first few weeks of marketing really matter. A home that comes to the market at the right price, with strong presentation and the right strategy behind it, can still attract good interest. But if a property starts too high, it can lose momentum and may later need a price reduction to bring it back in line with buyer expectations.
The number of price changes in both years shows that pricing conversations are still a very real part of the market.
Getting the advice right from the outset is more important than ever.
At Holden Estate Agents, our advice is based on what we are seeing day to day across Maldon and the CM9 area. We are speaking with buyers, valuing homes and agreeing sales locally, which gives us a clear view of what is working.
Holden Estate Agents also remains the agent with the most sales agreed in CM9. We do not say that to boast, but because it matters. It means our advice comes from a strong position and is based on real activity in the local market.
For anyone thinking of selling, the message is simple. The market is still moving, but the strategy needs to be right.
Presentation matters. Marketing matters. Negotiation matters. But above all, price matters.
A sensible asking price does not mean underselling your home. It means giving your property the best chance of standing out, attracting serious buyers and achieving a successful sale.
If you are thinking of moving in Maldon or the surrounding CM9 villages, now is a good time to get clear, honest advice on where your property sits in today’s market.
