Is Now the Right Time to Buy or Sell a Home?

The UK housing market has remained resilient throughout 2025 — but it continues to evolve. Here’s what the latest available data (June–July 2025) shows:

House Prices

Average UK house price: approximately £270,000

Annual growth: +2.8% compared with last year

Regional contrast: North East up around 7.9%, London up just 0.7%

Month-to-month growth (June → July 2025): +0.3%

For Buyers

Affordability is influenced more by interest rates than by small shifts in house prices.

Mortgage pre-approval can strengthen your position and give you a clearer budget.

Remember that the data above reflects mid-summer activity — always review current listings to understand the latest local market trends.

For Sellers

Well-presented, realistically priced homes continue to attract the most serious buyers.

In slower-growth regions, flexibility on pricing or terms can help secure a faster sale.

Local activity since July may have shifted demand slightly, so monitor new data as it becomes available.

The Bigger Picture
Interest rates, inflation, and local demand remain key factors shaping the property market. The modest monthly growth seen in mid-2025 points to a steady but cautious environment.

The Bottom Line
There is no universal “right time” to buy or sell. Your personal circumstances — financial readiness, lifestyle, and long-term goals — matter most. With the right strategy, both buyers and sellers can succeed in today’s market.
