Housing Market Forecast for 2025 – Zoopla’s Report

Zoopla has released their latest report, in which they have seen the UK house price average growth clock in at 1.5% in the last 12 months. All regions and countries within the UK have had positive year-on-year growth, with the North West recording an impressive 2.9% - almost double the UK average.

The latest report from Zoopla, the property portal, has shared the UK house price growth from the last 12 months to be 1.5%. Each region and country in the UK has seen positive year-on-year growth, but the North West has recorded a massive 2.9% increase, clocking in at almost double the UK average.

Sales agreed over the past 4 weeks are up 19% year-on-year, in a period that we typically see a slowdown in the market, but so far this has not happened, with buyer demand up 25% over the same timeframe. The sales market is on track to be 10% higher than in 2023 – another sign that the market is just not slowing down, with both buyer demand and seller interest continuing to stay strong.

The expectation from Zoopla is that the number of sales will increase by another 5% in 2025, with first-time buyers still remaining the largest buyer group. With rising incomes and the interest rates dropping, this has contributed to restoring more balance with housing affordability across 2024.

The North-South divide is more obvious than ever, with the North West still remaining to be the number one investment hotspot in the UK – clocking in almost 2% higher growth than the Capital.
