Among Scottish cities, Glasgow ranks highest, with an average of 899 houses sold monthly. Edinburgh follows with 837, and Fife holds strong with 525 monthly sales. These numbers indicate a thriving property market within these regions, illustrating their appeal to buyers.
Beyond Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Fife, other Scottish areas making it to the top 20 include South Lanarkshire, Falkirk, Aberdeen, Renfrewshire, and North Lanarkshire. Their inclusion demonstrates the widespread nature of Scotland’s market success.
