One of the telling trends in the Middlesbrough area is that some property types are spending longer on the market than usual, despite the number of such properties going on sale. There were 7% more terraced houses on the Boro market in the year to September 2025 when compared to the previous year, but the average time they spent on the market rose by 21% to 176 days.
This increase in competition is leaving many homeowners frustrated at being made to wait to sell and the final sale prices aren’t particularly worth the wait either—according to Rightmove data, the average sale price in Middlesbrough over the past year was only 1% higher than the previous year and 2% higher than the previous peak of £165,116 in 2022.
Property Consultant Manager, Raphael Kaye, gives his thoughts on the Middlesbrough housing market:
“I can understand why people in the Middlesbrough area might be getting frustrated, as the lengths of time their properties are taking to sell are typically longer than those of other places across the north of England.
“Terraces in Liverpool and Manchester sold a month or two months quicker, respectively, than their Teesside counterparts. There might be three or four times more to choose from in those cities, but that doesn’t make the wait any easier.”
— Raphael Kaye, The Property Buying Company
Here’s what’s affecting the market as things stand in Middlesbrough:
Sellers are advised to check a few different sources to get a more accurate price range for the properties they are trying to sell, as you will get varying reports from recent times. Rightmove, for instance, states the average sold price to have been £167,873 over the last year, but provisional data from the ONS had the average at £139,000 in July 2025, which was reportedly a 7% increase on the year before.
❌ The bad news: Sellers can be less sure about the value of their homes when it comes to selling and can struggle to negotiate with buyers on the open market as a result.
✔ The good news: You can still sell quickly to a cash buyer like The Property Buying Company and get close to the market value of your home.
The typical monthly rent for a private property in Middlesbrough increased by 9.3% in the year to August 2025, according to the ONS, so people are now being made to pay an average of £672 per month. This could mean that fewer people will be able to afford to save to buy a property in Middlesbrough in the months or years to come, leading to a drop in the number of people to which sellers can market their properties.
❌ The bad news: Increased rents mean less money to save at the end of the month for your average person, which could lead to more cash-strapped buyers.
✔ The good news: You don’t have to wait for the right buyer to have saved enough, only to negotiate with them at length—you can sell right now to a cash buyer like us.
Whether you are in Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees or Redcar, you might be feeling the effects of the housing market and be left wondering what your next best move is on your property. If selling up quickly and doing away with the stress is appealing to you, simply enter your Middlesbrough postcode below to get a free cash offer within 24 hours.
It’s understandable that you’re not quite sure what to do for the best, so we’ve pulled together a few viable options for homeowners like you in the Middlesbrough area—and especially those who’d rather secure a quick sale and get it done.
You can sell on the high street with an estate agent if you’re aiming for market value (or as close to) for your property, but this can take many months. Alternatively, you can sell to a cash buyer like us or at a property auction in Middlesbrough or the wider North East. The quickest route to a sale is typically via a cash buyer, as we can complete in as little as seven days, but it’s important to weigh up your options before you commit.
YOU PAY | AVERAGE SALE TIME | |
---|---|---|
Selling at an auction | £2.5k-5k | 6-10 weeks |
Selling with The Property Buying Company | £0 | 2-3 weeks |
Selling via estate agents | £1k-5k | 16-52 weeks |
