UK Property Market Stats Show - Week 26 2026 - Ep.2584

47,000 Fewer UK House Sales Agreed Than in 2025 UK house sales agreed are currently 6.8% behind 2025 year-to-date levels, equating to around 47,000 fewer sales. That is the headline the doom-mongers will grab. Yet the wider picture is far more balanced. Sales agreed remain 44,000, or 7.3%, ahead of pre-Covid levels, and 62,000, or 10.3%, higher than at the same point in 2023. So yes, the market has cooled compared with the unusually strong conditions of 2025. However, it is not collapsing. The real story is that the market remains active, but buyers have more choice, sellers face more competition and realistic pricing matters more than it did a year ago. The danger is not the market itself, the danger is interpreting one negative comparison without looking at the longer term context.
