Understanding the local property market is crucial, whether you're looking to buy, sell, or simply stay informed. Here in Maldon, we've seen some interesting shifts over the past year. Let’s explore what’s changed in the CM9 postcode, comparing July 2025 with July 2024, and what it means for buyers and sellers alike.
Maldon Property Market Update: July 2025 vs July 2024
This time last year, the market in Maldon was showing signs of stability, but activity remained relatively cautious. Fast forward to July 2025, and while we haven’t seen dramatic growth, there are signs of confidence.
Sales volumes in CM9 are up slightly compared to July 2024, and new instructions coming to the market are also showing a modest year-on-year increase. This is encouraging—but it’s worth noting that more stock doesn’t automatically translate into easier sales.
With new build schemes continuing to release homes locally, sellers now face a more competitive environment, which makes presentation and pricing more important than ever.
Supply and Demand: A Balancing Act
While more properties have been listed compared to last year, demand has broadly kept pace. Well-positioned and realistically priced homes—especially those with lifestyle appeal or family-friendly locations—are attracting attention.
We’re also noticing that motivated buyers are acting faster. Compared to July 2024, when many buyers were taking a "wait and see" approach, this year they seem more prepared to commit when the right home becomes available.
Pricing Trends: Little Change, But Don’t Be Complacent
Price reductions across the market are in line with what we were seeing 12 months ago. That suggests pricing remains key. Buyers are still price-sensitive and aware of wider economic conditions, so it’s vital that sellers listen to early feedback and remain responsive to market signals.
Increased competition—especially from new builds—means sellers need to be strategic. Properties that come to market looking their best and priced with intent are still achieving strong interest and solid offers.
Looking Ahead: A Market That Rewards Preparation
The Maldon property market in July 2025 feels stable. It’s not booming—but it is active, and there are real opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
If you’re selling, now is a good time to ensure your home stands out.
If you’re buying, it’s wise to be proactive.
