UK Property Market – Week 12 of 2026
If Week 11 was about stability, Week 12 nudges the market a little further forward. Not dramatically, but enough to notice.
New listings remain strong, continuing to build above long-term averages. That keeps buyers in a position of choice, and when buyers have choice, they become more selective.
Despite the issues in the Middle East, house sales agreed have edged up again, now sitting slightly ahead of the long-term norm. Nothing explosive, just steady progress. The market is doing what a healthy market should do, quietly getting on with it.
Pricing remains disciplined. With over 1 in 10 homes reducing, sellers are still having to adjust to meet buyer expectations. The days of testing the market and getting away largely are over.
And finally, the most important number still anchors everything.
Only just over half of homes (53%) that come to market will go on to sell and complete.
So, what does Week 12 tell us about the UK Property Market?
The market is not slowing.
It is not surging.
It is settling.
Buyers are active.
Sellers are motivated.
