22 per Cent of Homes on Market ‘Have Been Sitting There for over Six Months’
- In 2025, Zoopla reported that 22% of homes listed for sale in the UK have remained unsold for over six months.
- This situation stems from a growing mismatch between seller price expectations and market conditions, alongside a rise in homes for sale, especially in higher-value areas.
- In May, house prices across the UK rose on average by 1.4% compared to the previous year, although properties valued above £500,000—making up 8% of the housing market—saw slight declines in value.
- Sarah Cartlidge of Fraser Reeves estate agent advised sellers to price realistically and positively from the start to attract buyers efficiently and create a strong market impression.
- Despite challenges, 2025 is projected to see 5% more home sales and house price inflation between 1% and 2%, indicating ongoing market activity and buyer interest.
