UK Property Market – Week 11 of 2026
The spring market is now in full swing, and Week 11 shows a market that is busy, but not booming.
New listings are coming on strongly, well above long term averages, giving buyers plenty of choice. That choice is keeping a lid on prices, with more than 1 in 10 sellers having to reduce to stay competitive.
Yet buyers are still active. Sales agreed are slightly behind last year, yet ahead of 2024 YTD. The market is moving, just at a sensible pace.
The key number of your percentage chance of selling your home and moving remains unchanged though at 53.9%. Yes, only around half of homes that come onto the market in the UK will go on to sell and complete.
For homeowners, that is the reality check.
Well priced homes are still selling and selling relatively quickly. Overpriced homes are sitting, being reduced, and often helping the competition look better value.
So, Week 11 tells a simple story.
Irrespective of what is happening in the world at the moment
The market is active.
