Yorkshire outperforms national housing market

The average UK property price dropped by 0.3% in June according to Righmove - but Yorkshire and The Humber was one of the few regions that bucked the trend.

In June, the average asking price for UK homes dropped slightly by 0.3% to about £378,240 because more homes came onto the market.

Yorkshire and The Humber was one of the few areas where prices actually rose a little by 0.2%.

Prices there are now nearly 2% higher than last year, with the average home costing around £258,839.

In contrast, many parts of southern England and London saw bigger price drops due to higher stamp duty and more homes for sale.

Despite these changes, buyer interest remains strong. More homes are being sold compared to last year, and there are more homes available to choose from.

In Yorkshire, the average selling price is close to the asking price, and more homes are selling than before.

Overall, the market looks positive for buyers, with plenty of homes for sale and strong sales activity.

Patrick McCutcheon, head of residential at Dacre, Son & Hartley, said:

“In Yorkshire in 2025 our average sale agreed price to asking price remains at around 98.5%.

"We also have around 20% more homes for sale compared to this time last year and our sales volumes are up by approximately 30%.

"Ultimately, well-presented and attractive properties marketed at the right price are selling.”
