Sales agreed in the last four weeks were up 6% on last year, as more homes for sale bring more buyers into the market, with there being more sales year-on-year across all regions and countries of the UK, according to Zoopla.

Despite this, the average house price in the UK was £268,400 as of May 2025 (published June 2025), seeing a rise of just 1.4% or £3,690 over the past year to Maym — this is higher than the 0.3% increase recorded a year ago but lower than the 2% rise in February.
The report went on to say buyer choice had been boosted with an increase of homes for sale by 14%, which Zoopla said is a key factor holding back house prices.
In London and the South East and South West regions of England, the number of homes for sale is 16-19% higher than a year ago, while prices only increased by 0.5%.
