Key national headlines
Rightmove –
“Market activity across September shows a dip compared to last year, which was influenced by August 2024’s Bank Rate cut and early moves by some homebuyers in England aiming to avoid April 2025’s stamp duty increase. Ongoing uncertainty around the upcoming Budget has also tempered activity.”
Home.co.uk –
“The average asking price for England and Wales edged up by the smallest of margins during September (0.1%), making the annualised growth figure a mere 0.6%. Annualised home price growth across England and Wales continues to be well below the level of inflation.
The unsold sales stock count for England and Wales is at its highest level since October 2013. However, vendor hesitancy in an increasingly difficult market triggered a drop in supply of new sales properties during September. There were 11% fewer properties entering the market this year than in September 2024.
Sales market momentum remains elevated compared to previous years (the number of sales agreed across the country is 4% higher than a year ago). To date, this greater throughput has not been sufficient to significantly reduce the unsold stock total. Typical Time on Market for unsold properties is currently three days higher than in October last year and continues to trend higher.”
