How City of Dundee has moved recently

Over the last 12 months, City of Dundee has lagged behind the wider Scotland.

If you’re selling, it’s not just about prices going up. You’re looking for a stretch where they’ve climbed well, and maybe even picked up pace recently - the kind of run that makes buyers feel they need to act. Sometimes the sweet spot is after years of steady growth, just before things start to cool.

If you’re buying, you’re reading the same pattern differently. A recent dip after a strong few years can look like an opening - a solid area that’s taken a breather. Or you might be watching for signs the market has steadied after falling, hoping you’re close to the floor rather than the peak.

The longer view - has it really gone up?

Compared to 10 years ago, homes in City of Dundee are worth less once you adjust for rising everyday costs.

Sometimes prices rise in pounds but stand still once you account for everyday costs. That gap changes how you think about "growth".
