Housing Market Confidence Builds Across NI

Northern Ireland has kicked off 2026 with renewed confidence in its housing market. According to the latest Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) data, the number of homes coming onto the market increased in January, a much-needed turnaround after a period of tight supply and high demand. More homes now being listed signals greater opportunity for buyers and reflects a stabilising market that benefits communities across the region.

At Hagan Homes, we’ve been watching these trends closely, and they echo the activity we’re seeing across our own developments. As one of Northern Ireland’s longest-standing homebuilders with over 37 years of experience designing and building quality homes, we believe that a stronger supply side means more choice for buyers and healthier long-term growth for local communities.

Bringing More Homes to Northern Ireland

Across Northern Ireland, our current and upcoming developments demonstrate Hagan’s commitment to delivering new, quality homes in places people are proud to live:

Why This Matters

These growing opportunities for buyers come at an important time. RICS reports not only an increase in new listings, but also continued strong buyer enquiries and improving sales volumes, key indicators that confidence is returning to the market.

At Hagan Homes, we design and build with modern living in mind: energy efficiency, smart layouts, and thoughtful finishes that adapt to everyday life. This means our homes aren’t just properties, they’re long-term investments in people’s futures.

What This Means for You

Whether you’re planning your first home purchase, thinking about upsizing, or looking for a community that suits your lifestyle, a stronger supply and active market are positive signs. With more people entering the market and more homes becoming available, 2026 could be a great time to explore your options.

Our team is here to help you navigate the process, from selecting the right development and style of home to understanding your purchase journey every step of the way.
