What’s the housing market in Derby like in 2025?

The total number of homes on sale in Derby, as of the year to September 2025, is on the rise across almost every property type—only detached houses fell by 2% year-on-year. The number of terraced houses advertised, by comparison, increased by a staggering 64%, so there is so much more competition out there today. 

Homeowners can be slightly buoyed by the fact that properties are spending slightly less time on the market than they were in 2024, but not by much—the average time on sale of terraced houses decreased by 6% to 101 days over the same 12-month period as above.

Let’s take a look at what’s affecting the housing market in Derby in 2025: 

Reluctance to move based on interest rates

Interest rates might have come down slightly, but they are still much higher than they were a number of years ago, so demand from buyers might be stalling as people wait to see if things improve further. 

❌ The bad news: Less activity from buyers leaves sellers waiting around for longer to move.

✔ The good news: Selling quickly to a cash buyer like The Property Buying Company helps you avoid any market issues around interest.

First-time buyers paying more than the previous year

The amount first-time buyers are paying for properties in Derby increased from £177,000 in 2024 to £188,000 in 2025, according to ONS data, so competition is still on the rise. This is in line with increases in the average cost of Derby houses, too, as it now sits at £210,000 based on provisional ONS figures. 

❌ The bad news: Competition between first-time buyers and mortgage buyers might lead to lengthy negotiations on the open market.

✔ The good news: You can sell for cash and do away with that stress if you choose The Property Buying Company to sell immediately.
