Market commentary

Observations generated from ClearKey's dataset. All statements are derived from measured data — no subjective assessments.

Performance

Median selling time of 31 days — well above the NI average

45d faster than NI median

This agent's listed properties reached sale agreed in a median of 31 days. The Northern Ireland median across all qualifying agents in this period was 76 days — a difference of 45 days.

Caution

Ranking based on a relatively small number of transactions

10 transactions

This agent's ranking is based on 10 qualifying transactions, which falls in the lower confidence bracket (10–14 transactions). With fewer data points, the median is more sensitive to individual outliers. Treat this ranking as directional rather than definitive.

Distribution

Wide variation in selling times — 18 to 83 days for the middle 50%

18d – 83d

The middle 50% of this agent's listings sold in 18 to 83 days — a spread of 65 days. This breadth suggests the agent handles a diverse portfolio where individual property characteristics have a significant effect on how long each takes to sell.

Context

Ranked 2 of 178 qualifying agents

Rank 2 / 178

This agent ranks in the top 1% of 178 agents with enough qualifying transactions to appear in the ClearKey ranking.

Methodology

Days on market is calculated from the property's listing date to the date it moved to sale-agreed or likely-sold status — not to legal completion.

Median is used as the primary ranking metric rather than average — it is more robust when individual portfolios contain outlier properties that take unusually long to sell.

Only agents with a minimum of 10 qualifying sale-agreed transactions in the analysis period appear in the main ranking. Segmented breakdowns (property type, price band, region) use an adaptive minimum between 3 and 10 transactions, scaled to the total activity in that segment — this prevents niche segments from showing almost no ranked agents.

Properties with a days-on-market figure exceeding 1,095 days (3 years) are excluded as likely data anomalies.

All data derived from ClearKey's verified Northern Ireland property listings database. Rankings are computed independently and cannot be influenced by estate agents.

Limitations

Speed is not the same as price achieved. This page measures how quickly listed properties moved to sale agreed — not whether they achieved asking price, above, or below.

Area effects. Agents operating in postcodes with naturally faster market velocity will tend to rank higher regardless of individual firm performance.

Property mix. Agents handling premium, rural, or specialist stock that takes structurally longer to sell may rank lower without any reflection on service quality or client outcomes.

Name fragmentation. The same firm may appear under slightly different name variants in listing data, which can split their transaction count and affect ranking.
