UK house prices post steepest July drop in 20+ years as sellers slash to lure buyers

Asking prices for newly listed UK homes fell 1.2% in July, the sharpest drop for that month in over 20 years.

  • Sellers are pricing more competitively amid high inventory levels and increased buyer sensitivity to overpricing.

  • Rightmove cut its 2025 price growth forecast to 2% from 4%, despite sales running 5% above 2024 levels.

  • Falling mortgage rates and strong wage growth are improving housing affordability.
