Royton & Shaw Property Market Update
Here’s the latest overview of the Royton & Shaw property market by Oliver White, Branch Manager
Current market conditions
Following the uncertainty around the Budget late last year, the market has entered 2026 with renewed momentum. While stock levels dipped toward the end of 2025 as some sellers paused, buyer demand has remained strong, with good levels of viewings and offers continuing into the New Year.
January has started positively, with many buyers who delayed decisions over Christmas now actively looking, and sellers taking advantage of lower competition due to reduced stock levels.
Rightmove price data
According to Rightmove sold price data:
- In Royton, the average sold price over the last 12 months is around £243,000, with strong demand for terraced and semi-detached homes.
- In Shaw (OL2), average sold prices sit at approximately £235,000, supported by continued interest from first-time buyers and families
These figures highlight a stable and resilient market, underpinned by affordability and ongoing buyer interest.
Buyer behaviour
We expect buyers at the start of this year to be motivated and decisive, particularly those keen to secure a purchase before competition increases further into the spring market. Homes that are priced realistically continue to attract early interest and progress well.
Looking ahead
With mortgage rates having eased and confidence improving, demand is expected to build further through the first quarter of 2026.
Overall, Royton and Shaw have started 2026 in a healthy position, with solid demand, realistic pricing and positive momentum. If you’re considering selling this year, our team would be very happy to offer clear, local advice to help you make the most of current conditions. Contact us today!
