🏡 Yorkshire Property Market Update, September 2025
As autumn begins, the Yorkshire property market shows steady strength and opportunity. While national headlines highlight softer spots, the North remains resilient. Here is what you need to know if you are selling, buying, or just keeping an eye on the market.
📈 Key Trends
- House prices growing in the North
Zoopla reports that prices in northern England are up about 2% year-on-year. This is modest but stronger than many southern regions. Yorkshire benefits from this. - UK average growth slowing but positive
The UK average house price is about £270,000 (July 2025), up 1.3% in a year. Growth has slowed but remains stable. - Asking prices slightly down but rising monthly
Rightmove shows asking prices are 0.1% lower year-on-year nationwide. However, they rose 0.4% in the past month, suggesting sellers are regaining confidence. - Sales activity holding up
Buyer demand is 4% higher than a year ago. Sales agreed are up 4–5%. For Yorkshire this means serious buyers remain active.
🏠 What This Means for Sellers
- Autumn is a prime selling window before the winter slowdown.
- Presentation and pricing are key. Well-staged, fairly priced homes sell faster.
- Buyers value energy efficiency, low maintenance, local amenities, and good transport.
🙋 What Buyers Should Know
- Supply in Yorkshire is a little tighter than in many regions, so expect some competition.
- Prices are steady, which creates chances for well-prepared buyers.
- Having finance in place and being ready to act gives an advantage.
🌸 Local Snapshot
- Market towns and semi-rural villages are attracting strong interest from city buyers.
- Detached and semi-detached homes, cottages, and character properties are in demand.
- Urban flats and terraced homes remain steady when well located for shops and transport.
🔮 Outlook for Late 2025
- Stable, modest growth in Yorkshire, likely 1–2% if the economy holds steady.
- More listings as homeowners act in autumn, creating both competition and choice.
- Faster sales for well-prepared, well-priced homes.
✅ Advice if You Are Moving
- Get a local appraisal to see what similar homes are actually selling for.
- Sellers: make simple updates such as paint, lighting, and curb appeal.
- Buyers: arrange finance, set your priorities, and be ready to move quickly.
💬 Final Word
The Yorkshire market remains resilient. Growth is steady, demand is strong, and sales are happening quickly for the right homes. For sellers, it is a good time to list. For buyers, there are opportunities with realistic pricing. We expect autumn 2025 to deliver solid results for sellers, if priced correctly and presented well.
