Market momentum is building 

As of mid-2025, the UK housing market is exhibiting signs of steady growth. The average asking price has reached a new record of £377,182, marking a 1.4% increase from the previous month and a 1.3% rise year-on-year.* This upward trend suggests a healthy demand for properties, providing a favourable environment for sellers. 

Buyer activity remains strong 

Buyer demand continues to be robust, with noting a 5% increase in new buyer inquiries compared to the same period last year.* Additionally, the number of sales being agreed is up by 11%,* indicating that buyers are not only browsing but also committing to purchases. This heightened activity can be advantageous for sellers looking to achieve timely sales. 

Increased property listings 

The market has seen an 11% rise in new property listings compared to the same time last year, offering buyers a wider selection.* While this increased competition means sellers need to price their homes competitively, it also reflects a dynamic market where transactions are actively occurring. 

Outlook for the remainder of 2025 

Zoopla anticipates a 2.5% increase in house prices by the end of the year,* supported by improved affordability and renewed market confidence. A 4% rise in average asking prices and expects around 1.15 million transactions in 2025, indicating a vibrant market with ample opportunities for sellers.
