East Dunbartonshire house prices have risen by \u00a362,450 between November 2020 and October 2025 \u2013 putting price inflation above every other region, analysis from estate agency DJ Alexander has revealed.<\/p>\n
After that comes Midlothian, south of Edinburgh, with an increase of \u00a358,746 \u2013 indicating that people are moving to leafier areas while staying in touching distance to Scotland\u2019s major cities.<\/p>\n
Since 2020 average house prices in Scotland rose by \u00a333,976, from \u00a3157,849 to \u00a3191,825.<\/p>\n
David Alexander, the chief executive officer of DJ Alexander Scotland, said: \u201cHalf a decade of rising house prices in Scotland is testament to the continued strength of the housing market.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Scotland average prices rose by 21.5% between November 20205 and October 2025 with the increase in England and Wales lower at 18.0% over the same period.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWithin these figures there are enormous differences with parts of Scotland increasing in price at an extraordinary rate. That properties in East Dunbartonshire are now over \u00a362,000 higher than they were five years ago is remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n
\t <\/p>\n
The most expensive place to buy a home in Scotland is Edinburgh with an average price of \u00a3292,089; followed by East Renfrewshire at \u00a3290,110; Midlothian on \u00a3290,055; East Lothian at \u00a3281,531; and East Dunbartonshire on \u00a3272,658.<\/p>\n
Alexander added: \u201cIt is important to realise although almost all of Scotland saw an increase in average prices Aberdeen homeowners have seen the value of their properties fall.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is undoubtedly due to long-term continued uncertainty over the future of the oil and gas sector which has resulted in an unstable and difficult housing market which is unlikely to be resolved unless some indication is given over the economic future of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMany will be happy to hear their home value is rising while others, particularly among first time buyers, will be in despair over whether they will ever be able to buy a home.<\/p>\n
\u201cCertainly, in the central belt in and around Edinburgh and Glasgow prices have been soaring over many years and affordability has become a major issue. This could be resolved both through lower interest rates coupled with greater supply, but this will require time and support to be achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
