Kelvedon and Feering Property Market Review 2025

As 2025 draws to a close, the property market in Kelvedon and Feering has shown a year of steady, grounded activity. While much of the national conversation has focused on hesitation, affordability pressures and shifting mortgage rates, the local picture here has been far more reassuring. Both villages have continued to attract committed buyers, and although the market hasn’t moved at the frantic pace seen during the post-pandemic years, 2025 has proven to be stable, consistent and quietly confident.

Across the year, 47 homes have sold between Kelvedon and Feering. That level of activity is exactly what you would expect in a balanced local market where people are still moving for genuine lifestyle reasons rather than speculative ones. It’s also a sign that both villages remain highly desirable locations in the region, thanks to their mix of convenience, community, character and rural surroundings.

The average sale price in 2025 sat at just above £428,000. These figures have held remarkably steady throughout the year and demonstrate that house prices in Kelvedon and Feering have not seen the dips reported in some other parts of Essex. Instead, they’ve remained resilient, supported by realistic sellers and motivated buyers.

Kelvedon: A reliable performer in the mid-market

Kelvedon has continued to do what it does best: attract families, commuters and upsizers looking for a well-connected village with a friendly community feel. The village recorded 21 sales in 2025, with most activity sitting firmly in the mid-market. Homes priced between the mid £300,000s and the low £400,000s have seen the strongest levels of interest, and this bracket has been the backbone of Kelvedon’s performance this year.

The village also saw a handful of notable premium sales, including a property in Canonium Mews that reached £830,000. This shows that when the right home comes to market, buyers are still willing to commit — even in a more cautious climate.

Feering: Strength at the upper end of the market

Feering has had an impressive year at the higher end. With 26 sales recorded, the village has outperformed Kelvedon in terms of premium activity. Feering Hill has been a clear highlight, producing several of the strongest sales of 2025, including Walberswick House at £880,000 and another standout home at £835,000.

These results reinforce Feering’s position as a premium location for buyers who want more space, more character and a quieter lifestyle. While mid-market activity remains healthy, it’s the upper tiers of the Feering property market that have really defined the year.

A market built on variety and resilience

One of the defining features of the 2025 Kelvedon and Feering market is the variation in prices. The most affordable sale of the year came in at £130,000 in Kelvedon, while the highest approached £900,000 in Feering. This diversity of stock attracts a broad buyer pool and protects the villages from the sudden shifts that affect more uniform markets.

Buyers have shown clear preferences throughout the year:

• Mid-market homes offering good value have moved the quickest
• Well-presented family homes remain consistently popular
• Premium homes in Feering continue to command strong interest
• Entry-level properties benefit from limited supply and high demand

Taken together, these trends suggest that the property market in both villages remains fundamentally healthy.

Looking ahead to 2026

As we move into the new year, there is growing optimism that the market will stabilise further. The recent budget has played a part in restoring confidence, particularly among first-time buyers and those who delayed moving earlier in 2025. With inflation easing and interest rates expected to settle, many of the pressures holding buyers back should continue to soften.

This is likely to create a more active and positive environment for movers in 2026. While we are unlikely to see the frantic pace of previous boom years, we should see a market where more buyers feel comfortable making decisions again. Confidence tends to build slowly, but all the signals point toward a year where:

• Transaction levels increase
• Mortgage affordability improves
• Well-priced homes attract quicker, more committed interest
• Sellers who were sitting on the fence begin to re-enter the market

For Kelvedon and Feering specifically, the outlook is encouraging. Both villages have performed steadily through uncertainty, and that usually means they perform even better as confidence grows.

Final thoughts

The 2025 property market in Kelvedon and Feering has been defined by stability, realism and resilience. Prices have held firm, demand has remained consistent and both villages continue to offer the kind of lifestyle that buyers are prioritising.

With a more settled economic backdrop expected in 2026, the coming year looks set to be a good one for anyone planning a move. Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or simply weighing up your options, the signs point to a healthier, more active market ahead.
