Rightmove Reports Larger-Than-Usual July Drop in UK House Prices

The average asking price of a newly-listed home for sale in the UK has fallen by 1.0% this month, according to Rightmove. This decline is significantly larger than the ten-year average July fall of 0.2%.

Rightmove notes that a price drop in July is typical, but this year’s decrease is more pronounced. The portal also warns that sellers are having to compete harder to attract buyers during the summer period.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, these market movements may influence landlord and tenant activity, as sellers adjust their strategies in response to changing buyer demand.
