The market continues to follow its usual late autumn rhythm. Activity has softened a touch, which is entirely normal for this point in the year, yet momentum remains steady across most regions.
In October, 53.3% of UK homes that left agents’ books went on to exchange and complete. The remaining 46.7% were withdrawn unsold, which underlines how important realistic pricing and strong presentation remain for anyone who genuinely wants to move.
Across the month, 15.02% of properties on agents’ books went Sold STC. This is slightly higher than September’s figure and sits close to the 2025 monthly average of 15.3%.
A total of 26,097 new listings came to the market last week. This is down from 27.1k the week before and sits close to the nine year Week 45 average of 27.6k. Listings year to date remain 1.1% higher than 2024 and 8.2% above the 2017 to 2019 average. Overall supply remains healthy.
House prices in the sales agreed data remain firm. The average price per square foot is £343.18 for October 2025, which is 0.9% higher than October 2024 and 13.9% higher than October 2020.
A total of 22,871 UK homes were sold subject to contract last week. This is almost identical to the nine year Week 45 average of 22.9k and slightly below the 2025 weekly average of 25.9k.
The market continues to behave in a stable and predictable way for the season. Well presented homes that are priced sensibly continue to attract serious buyers and achieve strong results.
