Before we look at this month, we can now look back on the stats for the month of April. As you can see from the above snapshot of our performance figures, we agreed 31 new sales for our owners (compared to 37 in March 2026) and brought 37 new client’s properties to the market (33 – March 2026). We also visited 82 homes to carry out market appraisals and valuations for homeowners (82 – March 2026).  

Buyer activity was steady in April with 522 new buyers (664 – March 2026) registering for our ‘Heads Up’ property alerts and 600 viewings (624 – March 2026) carried out.   

Tenant demand dropped significantly during the month with 144 new tenants registering with us in January (304 – March 2026). 

Craig Smith from the Shawlands branch in Glasgow commented “Overall, demand across Glasgow remains robust, particularly for well-presented properties in desirable areas. We've observed a steady flow of enquiries and viewings, suggesting that serious buyers are actively engaged. While the frenetic pace of previous years has moderated slightly, properties that are accurately priced and effectively marketed are still attracting strong interest and competitive offers at closing dates.

One of the most critical aspects for sellers right now is pricing. Over-optimistic pricing can lead to properties lingering on the market, eventually requiring price reductions. 

Mortgage rates have stabilised somewhat, providing buyers with more certainty than in recent months. This stability is contributing to renewed buyer confidence, which is a positive sign for sellers. While affordability remains a consideration, serious buyers are adapting to the current lending landscape." 

Our Glasgow property of the month is a commercial property on Battlefield Road in the heart of Battlefield. As well as being an excellent location for a business, this main door flat offers the potential to be switched back to a residential home. On the market at offers over £199,000 we’ve already seen strong interest over the first few days of marketing. 

Sale of the month is Kirkoswald Road in Newlands. This 3 bedroom flat attracted 34 viewers and sold for almost 20% over the home report value at the closing date!

Walter MacLean from our Argyll branch in Dunoon comments “With the sunshine finally breaking through, Argyll is buzzing with renewed energy. Over the past few weeks we’ve seen a marked rise in serious buyers, quicker sales across all property types, and a welcome surge of new homes coming to the market. As we move into summertime on Monday, momentum is building beautifully, setting the stage for a vibrant season ahead for both buyers and sellers.”

Excitement is already growing for the iconic Dunoon Town Centre Stage: a thrilling three quarter mile sprint through packed streets, run twice to kick off the weekend. The action then heads into the countryside for five challenging stages before finishing with the dramatic eight mile Oyster Catcher night test. Nearly 26 competitive miles of pure spectacle.

Property of the month is Duncreggan View, Blairmore, A stunning two bedroom home with beautiful gardens and a character filled interior perfect for those seeking charm, space and coastal tranquillity. A rare find in one of Cowal’s most picturesque coastal villages. On the market at offers over £325,000.

Sale of the month is Elmbank, Strone. A magnificent traditional stone villa set within mature gardens and complete with its original coach house a standout sale in a thriving market. Its successful sale reflects the strong demand for quality homes in the area.
