New listings and SSTCs have both exceeded last year’s levels, with supply and demand remaining resilient ahead of the Autumn Budget.

Data compiled by the analytics firm showed the volume of sales agreed has reached 791,000 so far this year (January to July).

Nearly 500,000 homes were listed for sale in Q2 2025, the highest level in seven years, as both sales and lettings activity grew across the UK, according to TwentyEA.

TwentyEA found that although the volume of price reductions has increased, this appeared to be related to the increased volume of properties for sale.

TwentyEA data shows 15.6% of new property listings in Q1 2025 were previously rented, raising concerns over dwindling private rental supply.

Demand rose across all UK regions, particularly in the East Midlands and the East of England, with growth of 20.6% and 18.6%, respectively.

The number of properties listed for sale in January reached its highest level in a decade, while demand also surged, according to data from TwentyEA.

Compared with last year, the price reduction rate in 2024 increased most in the price bands below £350,000.

All regions saw an increase in sales, with the East Midlands and East of England both experiencing rises of 28%.

TwentyEA examined advertised properties for sale and compared this with further downstream activities in the buying process.

It is now taking longer to get a sale agreed throughout every UK region.
