The States of Guernsey has today released the Q4 2025 Residential Property Prices Report, delivering one of the most comprehensive and insightful analyses of the island’s housing market in recent years. This quarter’s publication provides a detailed overview of pricing trends, transaction activity, and evolving market behaviour across both the Local Market and Open Market sectors, offering valuable clarity at a time of heightened interest in Guernsey property.
The F&F LLP Property Team has reviewed the findings in full and prepared its initial commentary, drawing out the key themes that will matter most to homeowners, prospective buyers, and investors planning ahead for 2026.
The headline picture is one of continued resilience. Market activity remains steady, though increasingly price‑sensitive as buyers take a more considered approach. Local Market values have broadly stabilised, with the mix‑adjusted average purchase price rising to £595,820 in Q4 2025, a measured 0.5% increase on the previous quarter.
Transaction levels strengthened to 246 sales during the period, signalling sustained confidence among committed purchasers. At the same time, extended selling periods and a widening gap between asking and achieved prices highlight a shift toward more selective, value‑driven decision‑making.
Supply constraints remain a defining feature of the landscape. New‑build delivery in the Local Market continues to lag behind demand, contributing to upward pressure in both sales and lettings. The rental sector, in particular, continues its upward trajectory, with average rents increasing to £2,162 per calendar month, a 2.4% rise on the previous quarter.
In the Open Market, values have softened slightly from recent peaks but remain significantly higher than five years ago, underscoring the long‑term strength and desirability of this segment.
Overall, the depth and clarity of data in this quarter’s report provide essential context for anyone considering a property transaction or investment strategy in the months ahead. Whether navigating the Local Market, exploring the Open Market, or assessing rental opportunities, informed planning will be key as Guernsey moves further into 2026.
