The 2026 market has hit the ground running with a rebound in demand levels, following a quiet end to 2025. With mortgage rates stabilising at the lowest level in 3 years, buyers are back - but they have more choice than they’ve had in 8 years.

We expect a stronger than usual start to 2026 as buyers return to the market after the Autumn Budget and seasonal slowdown. The appetite to move home remains strong, but house prices will be kept in check by affordability constraints throughout the market.

With the Budget uncertainty now lifted, buyers and sellers can return to making decisions about their next move. Removing the threat of a new annual property tax from 210,000 homes for sale will help revive market activity in higher-value areas. However, the lack of any stamp duty reform means homebuyers will continue to face rising purchase costs.

Housing market activity is up this summer with high demand, more sales and a record number of houses on the market in July 2025.

More sales, rising supply, plenty of demand and modest house price growth shape a steady UK housing market in June 2025.

Lower mortgage rates are supporting more house sales against a backdrop of modest house price inflation. Our House Price Index tracks key trends in the UK housing market - here’s the latest news in May 2025.

Mortgage rates are likely to stay in the 4-5% range this year but changes to affordability testing gives buyers a boost.

House price inflation is losing momentum as seasonal factors and growing economic uncertainty cools buyer demand, while supply continues to expand. More homes for sale are boosting choice and keeping house prices in check.

Buyers have a wide choice of homes for sale, which will keep price inflation in check. Sellers need to be very careful in how they price their homes if they are serious about moving in 2025.

The housing market is resilient, supported by faster growth in average earnings. There are the most homes for sale in 7 years, which will keep price inflation in check. But are buyers missing opportunities in the flats market?

How do mortgage rates affect house prices?
When mortgage rates are higher, it makes borrowing money to buy a house more expensive. This reduces demand and usually means lower house price growth.
Average mortgage rates are currently between 4% and 5% and are likely to stay at this level for the foreseeable. Try our mortgage calculator to see how much you could borrow.
Does Zoopla have all sold house prices in the UK?
We get our sold house prices from HM Land Registry and Registers of Scotland each month, but it can take up to 6 months for sales to appear in our data.
