The UK housing market traditionally stirs back to life after the festive period, but this year’s post-Christmas activity reached unprecedented levels. Rightmove has reported that Boxing Day 2025 saw its busiest ever levels of traffic and activity, with visits to the portal jumping sharply compared to Christmas Day. Enquiries to agents and new listings also surged in the days after the holiday. This ‘Boxing Day bounce’ is being seen as a clear signal that buyers and sellers are heading into the new year with renewed confidence and plans to move in 2026.
At Curchods, we saw this trend play out in our own local markets too. Against a backdrop of heightened interest nationally, we launched a standout selection of new properties on and since Boxing Day, just as buyers were back online, actively searching and booking viewings. From spacious detached family homes and contemporary semis to charming village residences and characterful barn conversions, these fresh listings reflect the diverse range of properties buyers are seeking at one of the most dynamic points in the property market calendar.
If you’ve just begun your property search or are catching up on what’s newly available, this blog rounds up some of the most popular properties we’ve brought to the market since Boxing Day. Perfectly placed to benefit from the early-year surge in buyer activity, these homes reflect the strong momentum carrying into 2026 and the positive start many hopeful home-movers are making as the year gets underway.
