Ben Taylor, chief executive of Keller Williams UK, said: “The UK property market is thriving at present and this is no different when looking at Scotland alone.
“Despite the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, the stamp duty holiday in its various forms has helped pull the property market away from pandemic paralysis and this rude health is evident across the board.
“Transaction levels have been robust and house prices have climbed year on year in every single area of the Scottish market, which is impressive, to say the least.
“As with the wider UK market, this positive market outlook is likely to remain until the back end of this year, at the very least, if not beyond.”
