This is what HSPC Manager, Bernadette Reynolds had to say ‘The Highland property market remained steady throughout 2024, demonstrating resilience in the face of changing market conditions. While sold prices remained unchanged and sales volumes saw a slight increase compared to 2023, demand for homes in the region remained strong, and sellers continued to achieve competitive prices.

The modest increase in available stock was a welcome development, providing buyers with more choice than in previous years.

Looking ahead, we expect the Highlands to remain an attractive place to buy and sell property. The stability in average house prices reflects the enduring appeal of the region.’
