ClearKey Take
The data from Donaghadee points to a market that is broadly in balance at the moment. Some sellers are adjusting prices, but most are holding firm. In this environment, knowing your comparables well tends to matter more than waiting for prices to fall.
The proportion of stock that is under offer is relatively high — around 51% of active properties have a deal in progress. This is a reasonable indicator of genuine buyer activity, though it is worth remembering that some of these deals will not complete.
As with any market data, this reflects the picture at a specific point in time and uses asking prices throughout — not completed sale prices. ClearKey recommends treating this analysis as a starting point for your own research, rather than a definitive forecast.
