Analysis of land registration data by Yorkshire Building Society revealed that nearly 600 homebuyers bought properties with Christmas-related conditions included in the 2024 address.
The association estimates that real estate transactions will increase this year and continue through 2025, after a slowdown in 2023.
Analysis revealed that 22 properties with 'Christmas' in their address had changed hands, including 10 houses named 'Christmas Cottage' and Christmas Wood in Hexham.
New homeowners are currently decorating Christmas Pie Avenue in Guildford and Christmas Tree Crescent in Hockley.
Elf Cottage in Peterborough, Mistletoe House in Torquay, Yule House in Alnwick, Festive Mansion and Rudolph Court in London also have new residents.
Holly is one of the most common celebrations and last year more than 500 people bought a home that included it.
The government estimates that approximately 900,000 residential properties were sold between January and October 2024.
Real estate transactions have declined from their post-coronavirus peak.
There were over 1 million transactions in 2023, 1.26 million transactions in 2022, and 1.48 million transactions in 2021.
Max Shepherd, group economist at Yorkshire Building Society, said: “We estimate there will be around 1.1 million property transactions in 2024. , confidence is rising, which means there has been a significant recovery this year.”
“In recent years, we have seen larger-than-normal fluctuations in the number of people buying and selling homes.
“This number fell in 2020 due to the pandemic, but stamp duty relief boosted the market in 2021 and 2022.Higher interest rates in 2023 led to the lowest amount of activity since the credit crunch. .
“With lower interest rates, wage growth and momentum, we expect even more homes to be moved next year – approximately 1.17 million households based on current expectations.”
