With 2025 well and truly underway, it’s time to take stock and evaluate the Marple property market.
After a successful Christmas period, we have continued to outperform our competitors to become the number one estate agent in the area for new instructions.
As we look forward to what the new year brings, we are keen to continue helping our clients navigate the Marple property market and are diligent in our aim to achieve the best possible outcome for the customer.
Let’s take a look at the Marple property market and Edward Mellor’s place within it. This February update provides insight into buyer and seller activity, based on market trends and data from January.
Marple is a highly desirable town due to its wide range of convenient local amenities such as independent shops, reputable, scenic areas of natural beauty, food/drink establishments and it’s two train stations which provide transport links into Manchester City Centre.
The town caters to buyers at all stages of their home-owning journey. Consequently, we are seeing buyers ranging from downsizers, onwards movers and first-time buyers. However, a trend we are continuing to see from December is a spike in buyers looking to upsize into 3-4 bedroom properties with gardens and parking to accommodate a growing family. Marple is aspirational and once people move there they tend to stay, up and downsizing depending on their needs.
This month, we had 9 new instructions and 7 sales agreed, showing us that supply is currently higher than demand, therefore now is an advantageous time to find your dream home!
If you were thinking about purchasing in Marple then now is the perfect time to do so!

The average sale price for properties in Marple over the past 12 months is £356.040, which is a 1% decrease in annual sales prices and a 22% rise in sales prices over the past 5 years**.
To accommodate the slight decrease in house prices within Marple last year and avoid a down valuation, we focus on a realistic pricing strategy by comparing our valuations to other homes sold within the same area.
This helps to generate a higher number of viewings which increases the chance of finding the right buyer and arriving at completion.
We have a plethora of exciting success stories this month and it’s no surprise after we’ve sold 20.6% of the market to become the number one estate agent within the area*.
Here at Edward Mellor, we have a reliable bank of hot buyers who have been financially vetted to ensure we minimise our number of fall-throughs. We know our buyers and what they’re looking for. Due to the diligent work of our expert Marple team, we are able to successfully identify the best match between buyer and property and achieve a desirable outcome for our vendors.
Overall, due to our committed sales negotiators and expert valuers, we are able to assess each individual property and cater our marketing strategy to achieve the most desirable outcome for our vendors.
