Troon Property Update

🏡 Troon Property Market Update – February 2026

Reflecting January 2026 activity | KA10 Postcode

The Troon market has started 2026 with renewed momentum. January figures show improved buyer activity compared to the same period last year, while stock levels remain relatively tight.

📊 Sales Market Overview – KA10 (January 2026 Data)

• Available Stock: 33 homes
(⬆ from 28 in Jan 2025 | ⬆ slightly from 32 in Dec 2024)
Stock levels have edged up year-on-year, but remain relatively constrained compared to neighbouring towns. Limited supply continues to underpin pricing in desirable coastal locations.

• New Instructions: 14 properties
(⬆ from 10 in Jan 2025 | ⬆ significantly from 6 in Dec 2024)
January saw more sellers enter the market compared to both last month and last year — an early sign of renewed confidence heading into spring.

• Sales Agreed: 17 properties
(⬆ from 8 in Jan 2025 | ⬆ from 15 in Dec 2025)
This is the standout figure. Sales agreed more than doubled compared to January last year and improved month-on-month. Buyer appetite has clearly strengthened.

• Days on Market: 83 days
(⬇ from 88 in Jan 2025 | = to 83 in Dec 2025)
Selling times remain stable and slightly improved year-on-year. Well-priced homes continue to attract attention quickly.

➡️ Market Insight

January’s figures show:

• Stock remains controlled
• Instructions are increasing
• Sales activity is strengthening
• Selling times are stable

The base rate reduction in December appears to have improved sentiment. While mortgage pricing hasn’t dramatically shifted yet, confidence has.

Troon continues to behave like a premium, supply-led market. Well-presented homes in strong locations are attracting serious buyers early in the year.

🏘️ Rental Market Overview – KA10

The rental market remains exceptionally competitive:

• Demand continues to exceed supply
• Family homes and coastal flats are letting quickly
• Minimal void periods for well-positioned stock

With affordability still influencing some buyers to rent longer, landlord demand remains robust heading into 2026.

💷 Mortgage & Economic Context

The December 2025 base rate cut has shifted buyer psychology. While typical fixed rates remain higher than historic lows, improved lender competition is beginning to appear.

Confidence is returning gradually — and Troon tends to respond quickly to improved sentiment.

🔮 Outlook for Spring 2026

Troon enters spring with strengthening buyer activity and still-limited supply.

• Sellers listing early may benefit from renewed competition
• Buyers should be prepared to move quickly on well-priced homes
• Landlords remain well positioned in a tight rental market

Confidence is building — and early 2026 activity suggests momentum is returning.

🏡 Troon Property Market Update – January 2026

A Review of 2025 | KA10 Postcode

As we step into 2026, the Troon property market reflects a year of adjustment rather than correction. Following the volatility of recent years, 2025 brought a more measured, sustainable pace to the local market — with resilient pricing, selective buyers, and consistently strong demand for well-positioned homes.

📊 Sales Market Overview – 2025 in Review (KA10)

Available Stock
• December 2025: 39 homes (⬇ from 51 in Nov 2025;⬆ from 32 in Dec 2024)

Stock levels in Troon remained relatively tight throughout the year, particularly compared to neighbouring towns. While availability dipped through late autumn, December saw a modest seasonal uplift as some sellers chose to test the market ahead of spring.

➡️ What this tells us:
Lower stock levels continue to support pricing, especially for family homes and coastal properties making 2025 a particularly trying year for buyers. Sellers entering early in 2026 are likely to face less competition than in previous years and potentially more buyers with the news of the base rate drop in December.

New Instructions

• December 2025: 5 (⬇ from 18 in Nov 2025; ⬇ from 6 in Dec 2024)

New listings dropped into insignificance when compared to average levels through 2025, though this is typical for Troon matching the same pattern as 2024. Many homeowners chose to delay marketing decisions until the new year, particularly in the higher-value segments.

➡️ What this tells us:
Reduced supply heading into 2026 reinforces the importance of pricing accuracy — well-presented homes continue to stand out quickly.

Sales Agreed

• December 2025: 16 (= from 16 in Nov 2025;⬆ from 15 in Dec 2024)

Sales activity eased compared to late 2025 but remained stable month-on-month at year-end — a strong result considering the pressures on both stock availability and new listings in KA10 throughout 2025.

➡️ What this tells us:
Buyer demand never eased off; it became more deliberate. Serious buyers remained active, particularly for properties that offered value, condition, or location advantages.

Days on Market

• December 2025: 83 days (⬇ from 85 in Nov 2025; ⬇ from 85 in Dec 2024)

Selling times improved year-on-year, which is what we’d expect to see given lower stock and instruction levels.

➡️ What this tells us:
Not a strong indicator of market performance per say, but a useful indicator when trying to plan selling coming into a changing market in this new year.

🏘️ Rental Market Overview – KA10

The Troon rental market remained exceptionally strong throughout 2025:
• Demand consistently outpaced supply
• Quality homes were typically let within days
• Coastal, central, and well-presented properties achieved premium rents

With mortgage affordability continuing to influence buyer decisions, tenant demand is expected to remain elevated into 2026.

➡️ Landlord Insight:
Limited stock and strong tenant competition mean minimal voids. Reviewing rental levels (within legal guidelines) remains advisable.

💷 Mortgage & Economic Context (Updated)

• While we saw the base rate drop of 0.25% in December, this has yet to show through to the actual market rates. Mortgage rates were relatively stable through much of 2025.
• Typical late-2025 rates:
– 2-year fixes: ~5.0–5.2%
– 5-year fixes: ~4.5–4.8%
• December 2025 saw a Bank of England base rate cut, the first reduction after a prolonged period of higher rates

➡️ What this means:
While mortgage pricing has only adjusted modestly so far, sentiment has shifted. Buyers are increasingly confident that rates have peaked — and historically, improved activity tends to follow sentiment before pricing adjusts.

🔮 Outlook for 2026 – Troon

Troon enters 2026 as a low-supply, high-demand market:
• Sellers launching early may benefit from limited competition
• Buyers will find opportunities, but well-priced homes will attract interest quickly
• Landlords remain extremely well positioned as renting continues to be a necessity for many households

Confidence is returning gradually, and while affordability still shapes price ceilings, Troon remains one of Ayrshire’s most resilient and desirable markets.

🏡Troon Property Market Update – December 2025

Reflecting November 2025 activity | KA10 postcode

As we move through the final month of the year, the Troon market is settling into a familiar seasonal pattern. Activity has slowed as expected, but the fundamentals remain solid. Stock levels are tightening, new listings have reduced, and while sales volumes have eased, pricing continues to hold up well — particularly for correctly positioned homes.

📊 Sales Market Overview – KA10 (November 2025)

• Available Stock: 51 homes: (⬇ from 64 in Oct 2025 | ⬇ from 58 in Nov 2024)
Stock has tightened notably, sitting at its lowest point since early autumn. This reduction is typical heading into December, though lower than we’d like to see from a buyer’s perspective. Obviously, limits competition for sellers currently on the market helping to push prices up.

• New Instructions: 18 properties: (⬇ from 32 in Oct 2025 | ⬇ from 22 in Nov 2024)
A clear seasonal slowdown, but again a lot lower than we’d like to see. Hopefully, we’ll see a jump in the Spring market.

• Sales Agreed: 16 properties: (⬇ from 38 in Oct 2025 | ⬇ from 26 in Nov 2024)
Sales volumes have eased following a strong October, though this is in line with historical trends for November. Buyers remain active, but are more selective and deliberate.

• Days on Market: 85 days: (⬇ slightly from 86 in Oct 2025 | ⬇ from 90 in Nov 2024)
Encouragingly, average selling times have improved year-on-year, suggesting realistic pricing and sensible expectations are still being rewarded.

➡️ Market Insight:
November reflects a classic late-year market: fewer listings, fewer transactions, but steady underlying demand. While sales agreed are down month-on-month, the improvement in days on market highlights that well-priced homes are still attracting committed buyers.

💷 Average House Prices – KA10

• Current average sale price: ~£243,000
• Annual change: ~+8% YoY

Detached and family homes in Loans and Barassie continue to attract the strongest demand, while well-presented flats close to the seafront are also performing well with downsizers and investors.

🏘️ Rental Market Overview – KA10

• Average Rent: ~£1,200–£1,225 per month
• Letting Speed: Typically 7–10 days for quality homes
• Demand: Continues to exceed supply

Rental demand remains exceptionally strong across Troon, with limited stock and minimal void periods. Homes with parking, outdoor space, or proximity to the coast continue to command premium rents.

➡️ Lettings Insight:
With rent caps now fully expired for new tenancies, landlords remain in a strong position. However, correct pricing and presentation are still key to attracting the best tenants quickly.

💷 Mortgage Market Overview (November 2025)

• 2-year fixes: ~5.0%–5.2%
• 5-year fixes: ~4.5%–4.7%

Mortgage rates have stabilised at a “new normal.” While affordability remains a consideration, buyers with strong deposits or equity are still proceeding confidently — particularly in premium coastal locations like Troon.

🔮 Outlook for Winter & Early 2026

Troon remains one of Ayrshire’s most resilient markets.
• Sellers: Reduced stock means less competition — early-year listings could benefit from pent-up demand.
• Buyers: Choice is tighter now, but more stock is expected from February onwards.
• Landlords: Demand is unlikely to soften, especially as high mortgage costs continue to push renters into the market.

If you’re planning ahead for 2026, now is the time to get your strategy in place.

🏡Troon Property Market Update – November 2025

Reflecting October 2025 activity | KA10 Postcode

We’re now well into the last quarter of 2025, and the Troon market continues to behave consistently, though with a noticeable slowdown that all being equal is being felt right across the UK. Stock levels, new instructions, and days on market are all trending in the usual autumn pattern — but Troon remains one of the steadier and more resilient pockets of the Ayrshire market.

📊 Sales Market Overview – KA10 (October 2025)

Available Stock: 64 homes (⬇ Down from 67 in September; ⬇ Down from 75 in October)
Stock continues to tighten in Troon as we move deeper into autumn. This reduction is typical for the time of year, and also reflects strong absorption during Q3.

New Instructions: 32 (➡️ Level with September (30 → 32);➡️ Level with October (32 → 32))
A consistent figure showing that sellers are still listing, but not at summer levels. This is a typical seasonal position — stable, but cooling slightly.

Sales Agreed: 38 (⬇ Down slightly from 37 → 38 month-on-month; ⬇ Down from 45 in October)
Sales agreed remain healthy and in line with Troon’s steady demand, though slightly reduced compared to 2024 when activity was unusually high. With stock level and new instructions being lower, it is only to be expected that sales agreed will drop as well.

Days on Market: 86 days (Up from 71 in September; ➡️ Almost identical to 87 last October)
A clear sign of the seasonal slowdown. Buyers are taking longer to commit, though the year-on-year comparison confirms this figure is normal for the time of year.

💷 Average House Prices – KA10

Current average sale price: ~£243,000
Annual change: approx. +6–8% YoY
Demand remains strongest for family homes in Barassie and Loans, with well-presented 2–3 bed homes still achieving competitive results. Flats near the seafront have seen a slight uptick in interest from downsizers and first-time buyers.

🏘️ Rental Market Overview – KA10

Average Rent: ~£1,207/month – Seeing an increase even in the last 6 months following the removal on the rental increase bar that was in place at the start of the year.
Letting Speed: 7–14 days – Given the compliance and marketing requirements for letting property in Scotland, this figure is likely the lowest it will ever be.
Demand: Remains high with limited stock

Well-presented homes with parking, gardens, or coastal proximity continue to outperform. Rent caps expired earlier this year, and landlords adjusting rents at changeovers are still seeing strong occupancy and minimal voids.

💷 Mortgage Market Overview (October 2025)

2-year fixes: ~4.9–5.1%
5-year fixes: ~4.4–4.7%

Although affordability remains a challenge for some buyers, rates are stable and slightly improved from the August/September peak. Buyer sentiment is cautious but active — properly priced and well-presented homes continue to sell.

🔮 Outlook for Late Autumn / Early Winter 2025

Stock levels in Troon continue to tighten as we move deeper into autumn, and while sales remain steady, the pace has clearly slowed in line with the season. Despite this, pricing remains resilient, with well-presented and accurately priced homes still achieving strong results. Buyers are more selective than they were in summer, but they are still active and motivated, especially when the right property comes to market.

Most sellers listing now should expect completion early 2026, unless a buyer is highly motivated.

Troon remains one of the strongest, most stable sub-markets in Ayrshire.

If you’re planning a move ahead of spring, now is the perfect time to start preparing.

🏡Troon Property Market Update – October 2025

Reflecting September 2025 activity | KA10 postcode

📊 Sales Market Overview – KA10

Available Stock: 67 homes (↓ from 74 in August, but ↓ from 73 last September).
Stock levels showing a slight drop across both comparables, though stable compared to the much lower numbers we experienced earlier in 2025.

Another number showing a drop in both comparable data sets, and again showing a more stable and healthy figure from earlier in 2025.
Sales Agreed: 37 (↑ from 36 in August, and ↑ from 33 last September).
A very stable figure and much expected in Troon, showing that well positioned properties are selling very quickly.
Days on Market: 71 days (↑ from 65 in August, but ↓ from 86 in September 2024).
Homes are taking slightly longer to secure a buyer compared to late summer, though year-on-year figures remain stronger — showing improved buyer confidence and more realistic pricing.

💷 Average House Prices – KA10

Current average sale price: ~£243,000
Annual change: +8% YoY
Detached and family homes in Barassie and Loans remain the most sought-after, though well-presented flats near the seafront are also seeing renewed interest from downsizers and investors alike.

🏘️ Rental Market Overview – KA10

Average Rent: ~£1,207/month (↑ 4.6% YoY)
Letting Speed: 7–10 days on average for quality homes.
Trend: High demand continues, with limited stock and short void periods.
Rent caps have now fully expired, allowing landlords to adjust rents at tenancy changeovers. Well-located homes with parking, outdoor space, or sea views remain especially competitive.

💷 Mortgage Market Overview (September 2025)

2-year fixes: ~5.0–5.2%
5-year fixes: ~4.5–4.8%
September saw us pass the 3-year anniversary of mortgage rates bouncing up over 6%. As above, rates have settled back down to a more realistic level with preferential deals available depending on individual circumstance.

🔮 Outlook for Autumn 2025

The Troon market remains steady heading into Q4.
Stock and sales activity are both holding well against last year, suggesting that local confidence remains intact. Buyers are selective but motivated, and sellers who present their homes well and price realistically continue to achieve strong outcomes.

🏡Troon Property Market Update – September 2025

Based on activity during August 2025 | KA10 postcode

As summer closes out, the Troon market remains active, though no real signs of seasonal cooling on show. New instructions and sales agreed both picked up compared to July, and overall activity is slightly ahead or the same as last year’s levels. Stock levels remain steady, and prices continue to show year-on-year strength.

📊 Sales Market Overview – KA10

Available Stock: 74 homes (↑ from 68 in July 2025, ↑ from 73 last August).
New Instructions: 37 (↑ from 34 in July, ↑ from 34 last August).
Sales Agreed: 36 (↑ from 32 in July, but ↓ from 37 last August).
Days on Market: 65 days (↓ from 66 in July, ↓ sharply from 83 last August).

➡️ Market Insight: August saw a welcome rise in both new listings and sales agreed, showing that demand remains consistent even as we head into autumn. Year-on-year, stock levels are slightly higher, and back to more normal levels compared to the very low levels seen at the beginning of the year. Homes are continuing to sell faster — a good sign of confidence for sellers.

💷 Average House Prices – KA10

Current average sale price: ~£243,000
Annual change: +8% YoY
Hotspots: Detached and family homes in Loans and Barassie remain the most competitive, but demand is also filtering into smaller homes and properties needing light upgrades, with sellers still achieving healthy results compared to nearby towns.

🏘️ Rental Market Overview – KA10

Average Rent: £1,207/month (↑ 4.6% YoY)
Letting Speed: Quality homes typically let within 7–10 days.
Trend: Demand continues to outstrip supply, particularly in coastal and central Troon.

➡️ Lettings Insight: The expiry of temporary rent caps earlier this year continues to ripple through the market. Landlords should review their rents to ensure they’re keeping pace with rising demand and reduced availability. Voids face the best way to level back to market level rent, but always wise to get the notification to tenant letters sent early as there is a notice period to get through.

📈 Mortgage Market & Buyer Affordability

2-year fixed rates: ~5.0%–5.2%
5-year fixed rates: ~4.6%–4.9%
➡️ While affordability remains stretched, competitive buyers with strong credit or lower loan-to-value ratios are still securing favourable deals. Most sellers can expect buyers to negotiate harder, but demand has not dropped away. Most buyers in the Troon area expect to pay over home report to secure the deal.

🔮 Outlook for Autumn 2025

With schools back and routines resuming, the Troon market is expected to remain steady through September and October. Sellers entering now still have a chance to complete before year-end, though timelines are tightening. Landlords remain in a strong position with rents trending higher and demand showing no signs of easing.

Troon Property Market Update – August 2025

Based on activity during July 2025 | KA10 postcode

Schools are now heading into the 3^rd week of term after a long summer break. The market falling back to a more traditional model where all types of appointments and interest tends to drop, though we did see an increase in sales agreed and new instructions in July compared to June albeit sales were down year on year.

📊 Sales Market Overview – KA10

Available Stock: 68 homes (↓ from 71 in July 2024, ↓ slightly from 71 in June 2025).
New Instructions: 34 (↑ from 24 last July, ↑ from 30 in June).
Sales Agreed: 32 (↓ from 39 last July, ↑ from 26 in June).
Days on Market: 66 days (↓ from 80 last July, ↑ from 60 in June).

Market Insight: Buyer demand is holding steady with sales agreed improving on June, but not quite matching last summer’s peak. Stock remains stable coming up to a more comfortable level compared to earlier in the year. Days on market are creeping up slightly, showing buyers are taking longer to commit.

💷 Average House Prices – KA10

Current average sale price: ~£243,000
Annual change: +8% YoY
Hotspots: Unsurprisingly, detached and family homes in Loans and Barassie continue to draw the most competition, particularly 3–4 bed homes in good condition. That being said, even properties that require some upgrading are seeing higher than would normally be seen in towns like Kilmarnock and Irvine, albeit they still receive lower offers than those that are in the best condition.

🏘️ Rental Market Overview – KA10

Average Rent: £1,207/month (↑ 4.6% YoY)
Letting Speed: Well-presented homes typically let within 7–10 days.
Trend: Demand remains higher than supply, especially in central and coastal areas.

Lettings Insight: If you are bringing something to the market, take time to ensure you are getting a fair market price. As above they have shifted dramatically over the last year. This figure will take time to settle given the restrictions that had been in place previous to April.

📈 Mortgage Market & Buyer Affordability

2-year fixed rates: ~5.0%–5.2%
5-year fixed rates: ~4.6%–4.9%
Buyer Sentiment: There are better deals available for those with better credit and a lower loan to value. Stable, but affordability pressures mean buyers are more cautious and more likely to negotiate.

🔮 Outlook for Summer 2025

With schools returning and the summer holidays ending, activity is expected to pick up again. Stock levels are steady, sales are consistent, and prices remain on an upward trajectory. Buyers are more selective, so presentation and realistic pricing are key for sellers. Landlords remain in a strong position, with demand continuing to outpace available supply.

Troon Property Market Update – July 2025

Based on activity during June 2025 | KA10 postcode

As we head into the second half of the year, Troon continues to perform solidly despite some softening in new stock and a modest increase in time to sell. The quarter overall remained active, with consistent buyer interest and sustained upward pressure on prices.

📊 Sales Market Overview – KA10

Available Stock:
Remained steady at 60 homes in June, down from 82 in June last year — evidence that supply is tightening.

Letting Speed: Most well-presented homes let within 7–10 days
Quarterly Trend: Demand continues to outpace supply, particularly in coastal and central Troon locations.

Average 2-year fixed rates are holding between 4.75%–5.2%, slightly above earlier forecasts.
5-year fixed deals offer more security for buyers, with rates around 4.5%–4.9%.
Despite rate pressures, mortgage approvals remain stable, helped by strong buyer sentiment and realistic pricing.

Outlook: Rising values and stronger yields mean buyers and investors are still active. However, affordability and valuation limits are influencing negotiation power, especially at the higher end of the market.

🔮 Outlook for Summer 2025

The Troon market enters Q3 with solid momentum. While stock remains tight and sales pace has cooled slightly, demand is consistent. The best-performing homes are still those well-presented and realistically priced. Now is a great time to prepare for a late summer or early autumn launch.

Troon Property Market Update – June 2025

Available Stock: Dropped slightly to 60 properties (from 65 in April), suggesting that well-priced homes are being snapped up.

As we head toward summer, Troon’s property market continues to hold firm amidst a changing landscape. April 2025 brought a further rise in available stock and seller activity, while the time to sell has improved significantly — a sign of well-priced homes moving quickly.

Compared to this time last year, Troon remains a sought-after market within South Ayrshire, with strong buyer interest and consistent rental demand driving momentum. As the local area benefits from continued infrastructure investment and a return to open-market pricing post rent controls, the KA10 postcode is increasingly seen as both a lifestyle and investment hotspot.

This update highlights the latest figures and buyer behaviours, giving homeowners, buyers, and investors a clear view of what’s happening in Troon right now — and what to expect heading into Q2.Sales Overview

House Prices & Market Trends

Buyer Demographics

🏡 First-Time Buyers: Troon remains attractive thanks to its lifestyle appeal, but with the average price now sitting around £230,000, many first-time buyers are increasingly drawn to Irvine, where entry-level properties remain significantly more affordable (avg. ~£128,000). Troon still sees first-time activity, but affordability pressures are shifting some demand westward.

💼 Investors: The buy-to-let landscape remains active but cautious. Higher entry costs and tighter margins in Troon are pushing more yield-focused investors toward Irvine, where rental yields are stronger relative to purchase price. That said, Troon’s low vacancy rates and tenant demand for quality rentals continue to attract long-term, capital-growth-minded investors.

🌊 Relocators: Troon continues to be a hotspot for relocators — particularly families and professionals seeking coastal living. Demand is being driven by buyers moving out of Glasgow, attracted by Troon’s schools, rail links, and lifestyle balance. Anecdotally, there’s growing interest from remote workers and retirees too, especially in the £250k–£400k price range.Rental Market Insights

Average Rents:

Troon: The average monthly rent has risen to approximately £1,207, marking a 4.6% year-on-year increase.

Ayrshires Region: In February 2025, the average rent was £619, up from £586 in February 2024, reflecting a 5.6% annual rise.

Demand and Supply:

High Demand: Tenant demand continues to outstrip supply, leading to low vacancy rates and shorter void periods for landlords.

Limited Stock: The constrained housing stock contributes to upward pressure on rental prices.

Legislative Developments:

End of Temporary Rent Controls: The Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) Act 2022, which introduced temporary rent controls and eviction moratoriums, expired on 31 March 2025. As of 1 April 2025, landlords can adjust rents to align with current market rates.

Upcoming Housing (Scotland) Bill: The Scottish Government is progressing the Housing (Scotland) Bill, aiming to implement permanent rent control measures. However, these are not expected to take effect until 2027, leaving a transitional period where rents are subject to market dynamics.

Market Outlook:

Potential Rent Increases: With the lifting of temporary controls and the legislative gap before new measures are enacted, there is potential for rent increases as landlords adjust to market conditions.

Market Resilience & Outlook

Troon’s property market continues to transition toward a more stable and balanced environment. While the pace of sales has slowed compared to the frenzied post-pandemic years, underlying demand remains resilient — particularly among relocators and lifestyle-driven buyers.

Prices are holding firm rather than falling, and with the recent improvement in days on market, well-priced homes are still selling quickly. Infrastructure upgrades and consistent local appeal are helping to underpin values, even as buyers become more selective.

Sellers: Success lies in realistic pricing and strong presentation — the market rewards homes that stand out.

Buyers: There’s slightly greater choice and less urgency, offering time to make considered decisions.

Investors: The lifting of temporary rent caps opens opportunities, but it’s vital to stay informed on evolving legislation before making moves.

Despite seasonal fluctuations, Troon remains one of Ayrshire’s most desirable postcodes — combining coastal charm, transport links, and long-term potential.

Troon Property Update – March 2025

As spring takes hold, Troon’s property market is experiencing key shifts in supply, demand, and pricing. This update provides a concise overview of KA10’s market trends, including comparisons to Irvine, South Ayrshire, and Scotland as a whole.

Sales Overview

Troon’s market has seen reduced available stock and slower sales in early 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. New instructions declined from 24 in February 2024 to 19 in February 2025, while sales agreed also fell from 23 to 19. Available stock has dropped significantly, from 67 homes in February 2024 to just 39 in February 2025, meaning fewer properties are on the market. However, the average days on market improved from 87 to 76, suggesting that while fewer transactions are occurring, well-priced properties are still moving. This trend aligns with patterns seen in Irvine and wider Ayrshire.

House Prices & Market Trends

Despite slower sales, house prices in Troon remain strong, with values rising 4–8% year-on-year. The current average sale price is around £230,000, outperforming Irvine (£128,000) and aligning with South Ayrshire’s steady growth (£170,000, up 7.5% year-on-year). While buyer urgency has softened, Troon’s desirability continues to support price resilience.

Buyer Demographics

First-Time Buyers: Troon remains attractive for first-time buyers, though Irvine offers more affordability.
Investors: Buy-to-let interest persists, but higher entry costs mean Irvine is seen as a better yield-driven choice.
Relocators: Troon continues to draw families and professionals seeking coastal living, with increased interest from buyers moving out of Glasgow.

Rental Market Insights

The rental sector remains strong, with rents increasing 4–5% year-on-year. Troon’s average monthly rent is now £1,200, higher than the Ayrshire average (£618). Demand is outpacing supply, keeping void periods low. However, upcoming rent control legislation could impact landlord investment decisions.

New Developments & Infrastructure

Affordable Housing: A recent £8M project delivered 52 energy-efficient homes, supporting rental demand.
Troon Station Upgrade: A £5M redevelopment has modernized facilities and enhanced commuter access.
Council Investments: South Ayrshire’s £344.5M infrastructure plan includes road improvements, school upgrades, and leisure facility enhancements, all boosting Troon’s long-term appeal.

Market Resilience & Outlook

Troon’s market is adjusting to a more balanced state, with longer selling times but strong underlying demand. Prices are expected to stabilize rather than drop, and infrastructure improvements will support future growth. Sellers should price competitively, buyers can find more choice, and investors should watch evolving rental regulations. Despite market fluctuations, Troon remains one of Ayrshire’s most sought-after locations for homeowners and investors alike.

Troon Property Update – February 2025

Published Februaury 2025

As we step into a new month, it’s time to reflect on the recent trends and developments in the Troon property market. This update provides a comprehensive look at both the sales and rental sectors, offering insights into the dynamics shaping this vibrant market.

Sales Overview

The Troon property market has experienced some notable shifts over the past year. Comparing January 2024 to January 2025, the number of house sales decreased slightly from 10 to 8. Despite this small dip, the market has shown remarkable resilience with new instructions coming in at 10, although down from 23. This still indicates growing confidence among sellers, potentially leading to a more dynamic market environment. As the year progresses, it will be fascinating to see how these trends influence overall market activity in Troon.

House prices in South Ayrshire have grown by an impressive 8.3% over the past year, reflecting the area’s strong desirability and quality of life. Troon, a town within South Ayrshire, has seen an even higher price growth rate at approximately 8.7%. This indicates not only the overall appeal of South Ayrshire but also highlights Troon as a particularly attractive location for property buyers. Both areas surpass the Scottish average of 6.0%, showcasing their robustness and the increased equity opportunities they offer to homeowners.

Buyer Demographics

First-time buyers have been a significant demographic in early 2025, accounting for around 63% of homebuyers in Troon. This trend is consistent with the wider area, where first-time buyers are also a major group due to favorable mortgage rates and upcoming changes in stamp duty thresholds. Property investors continue to show interest in Troon, attracted by the strong price growth and rental yields. The town’s appeal as a long-term investment destination is reflected in the slightly higher proportion of investors compared to the wider area. Relocators, including those moving for work or lifestyle reasons, have also been active in the Troon property market, drawn by the town’s quality of life and proximity to amenities. These trends highlight the diverse mix of buyers in Troon, contributing to the robust property market in the area.

Rental Market Insights

The rental market in Troon remains equally dynamic, with demand for quality rental properties continuing to rise. The average rental price in Troon increased by 4.6% year-on-year, reaching £1,207 per month. This growth is slightly below the wider area’s average rent increase of 6.9%. Factors contributing to this rise include increased demand for rental properties, limited housing stock, and economic recovery post-pandemic. As more individuals and families look for flexible living arrangements, the rental sector is becoming increasingly competitive. This trend offers landlords favorable rental yields and presents prospective tenants with the need to act swiftly to secure desirable properties.

New Developments and Infrastructure Improvements

Exciting developments are on the horizon for Troon. Cruden Building has been appointed by Ayrshire Housing to construct a £7 million housing project in Troon, which will include 52 new affordable homes designed for energy efficiency. Additionally, the restoration of Troon Station, completed by Network Rail and partners, has modernized the station while preserving its heritage, enhancing local amenities. These initiatives are expected to positively impact the property market by increasing housing supply and improving local infrastructure.

Market Resilience and Future Outlook

Despite economic challenges, the Ayrshire property market has shown remarkable resilience and strong performance. Looking ahead, we expect the market to maintain its strength, driven by continued interest from both local and out-of-region buyers. However, the ongoing supply shortage may challenge affordability and availability. We remain hopeful for new developments and policy measures to help alleviate these pressures.

Conclusion

The Troon property market is off to a robust start in 2025. Whether you’re buying, selling, renting, or simply interested in the market, staying informed is essential. If you have questions or need assistance navigating this dynamic market, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or my team.
