It has been an incredible year for Guernsey’s property market, and October proved to be the strongest month yet, with activity booming in both the Local and Open Markets. 119 homes changed hands during the month, taking the year-to-date total to 763 – already 58 more than all of 2024.
In fact, every month of 2025 has outperformed the same month in 2024, with total property sale values up by more than £137 million, reaching £604 million by the end of October.
October also saw the highest number of Open Market transactions so far this year, with 11 sales, including five to people relocating to Guernsey. This highlights a growing interest from off-island buyers, helped by falling interest rates and renewed confidence in the market.
At Swoffers, we are proud to have continued our strong performance. We’ve achieved a 26.2% market share in the Local Market, which means one in every four local properties sold this year has been sold by us.
We have also led the way in the high value sector, selling three times more properties over £1 million than our nearest competitor and completing the highest value Local Market sale of 2025 to date.
On the Open Market, we have sold 36 properties so far this year, four times more than our nearest competitor, and handled 10 of the 11 highest value Open Market transactions, including the highest value sale of the year.
“The strength of the market this year has been great,” said Andre Austin, Swoffers Director. “Buyer confidence remains high, and we are seeing increased activity from both local purchasers and new arrivals to the island. Our combination of local knowledge, global reach and an experienced team has made us the go-to agency for both Local and Open Market sales, particularly at the top end of the market. It has been a hugely positive year for Guernsey property overall.”
As we head into the final months of 2025, confidence remains high, and we are excited about what the future holds for the island’s property market.
