A beautiful cottage on Broughty Ferry’s waterfront was the most popular property on TSPC last month.
Barometer Cottage is more than 200 years old and has a barometer that used to be used by the town’s fishermen.
Properties in Carnoustie, Dundee, Forfar, Newport-on-Tay, and Monikie also featured in the top 10.
Prices varied, with the most affordable home on sale for offers over £155,000 and the most expensive property priced at £500,000.
Half of the top homes have already had an offer accepted, with three generating enough interest to have a closing date set. One in-demand property even sold for £20,000 over its asking price.
TSPC manager Angela Wallace said: “With nearly 63,000 views among them, our top 10 homes in May have generated remarkable interest. It’s no wonder, as these properties range from unique homes to ideal first-time buys.”
The top 10 most popular TSPC listings in May were:
