House Prices: Buyer’s Market Sees July Prices Plummet
BRITAIN, JUL 20 – Average asking prices in Britain fell 1.2% in July, the largest July drop in over 20 years, driven by high seller competition and regional falls, especially in London.
- On Monday, Rightmove said the average asking price in July was £373,709, down £4,531 month-on-month, marking the largest July dip in over 20 years.
- April’s temporary stamp duty holiday ended, while high seller competition is limiting price growth, according to Rightmove.
- Rightmove shows the UK’s asking prices fell 1.2%, with London dropping 1.5% and inner London 2.1%, marking the largest July decline in over 20 years.
- Rightmove said that sales agreed were 5% higher than last year, marking the highest July level since 2021.
- Rightmove cut its 2025 growth forecast to 2%, and said two more Bank of England rate cuts would support a positive outlook.
