Week 14 does not change the direction of the 2026 UK property market. It simply reinforces it.
New listings dipped to 32,229, no surprise with the Easter break, yet still in line with long term seasonal norms. Stock levels continue to build, with over 716,000 homes now for sale across the UK. Buyers still have choice, and plenty of it.
Sales agreed came in at 20,534, below the long term average for this week, again reflecting the holiday slowdown rather than any shift in demand. Zoom out, and the pattern remains.
Over 13% of homes have reduced their asking price in the last month. That is not seasonal. That is pricing reality catching up.
Yet the proportion of homes selling each month is holding at 15.5%, and £ per square foot has edged up to £360. Buyers are still paying, just not overpaying.
And the big stat still stands.
Only around half of homes that come to market will go on to sell and complete.
So, Week 14 is not a turning point. It is confirmation.
More homes.
More competition.
Same outcome.
Price right, and you move.
Miss the mark, and the market moves on without you.
