🏡 When do UK homes ACTUALLY sell? The numbers might surprise you... 👀

Of all the homes that successfully sell:

✅ 41.8% find their buyer in MONTH ONE
📉 19.9% in month two
📉 11.7% in month three
📉 7.8% in month four
📉 5.3% in month five
📉 3.7% in month six

See the pattern? That first month isn't the warm-up act — it's the MAIN EVENT 🎬

We get it — "let's try a higher price and see what happens" sounds tempting. But here's the reality: you'd be burning through the most powerful part of your marketing campaign, when your home is fresh, visible and grabbing the attention of the most serious buyers 🔥

And here's the stat that really matters... 📊

The latest TwentyEA data (analysed by Denton House Research) shows 61.7% of UK homes that actually SOLD — exchanged, completed, keys handed over 🔑 — in the last five months had NO price reduction at all.

Translation? The homes that make it all the way to moving day are mostly the ones priced realistically from day one. Overpricing doesn't create a better result — it creates silence... then a reduction... then awkward questions from buyers wondering why it's been sitting there 😬

The aim isn't to give your home away. The aim is to launch at a price that makes buyers TAKE ACTION 💪

📊 The May 2026 Property Market — What It Means For You

The British property market is still moving, and that's great news if you're thinking of making a move! 🙌

More homes are coming to market, more sales are being agreed, and more deals are making it through to exchange and completion. Buyers are still active — and that should give sellers real confidence. ✅

But there is a warning light flashing 🚨 — sale fall throughs are on the rise. It's a reminder that the right approach matters more than ever right now.

This isn't a market where you can just stick a home online at any price and hope for the best. 🙅‍♀️

What DOES make the difference? 👇

✔️ Realistic pricing — right from the start ✔️ Great presentation — first impressions count ✔️ Buyer qualification — making sure your buyer is truly ready ✔️ Strong sales progression — keeping your sale on track all the way to the finish line

At Webbs, managing the process properly isn't something we just talk about — it's what we do every single day, for every single client. 💪

If you're thinking of selling, let's talk about how we can give your move the best possible chance of success. 👇📞

🏡 Aldridge's quiet love affair with bungalows...
For years, bungalows got a bit of a bad rap. Somewhere only your granny lived, right? Not exactly the aspirational dream move people were chasing.
But something has been quietly shifting in Aldridge — and the numbers don't lie.
Over the last two years, 146 bungalows came onto the Aldridge market. That's 10.9% of all listings — well above the national average of 7.62%. And of those, 104 sold and completed, achieving an average sale price of £379,398.
Here's the bit that really stands out though. Buyers paid an average of £369 per square foot for bungalows in Aldridge — compared to just £297 per square foot for houses and flats. That's a significant premium, and people are paying it willingly.
So who's buying them? It's not just downsizers anymore. More and more, we're seeing buyers in their late 40s and 50s — couples whose kids have flown the nest — making the smart move into a well-located bungalow and thinking long-term. No stairs, bigger garden, more privacy, more space. What's not to love?
Add to that the fact that only 1,505 new bungalows were built across the entire UK in 2025 — just 1.3% of new homes — and you start to understand why demand keeps outpacing supply. Housebuilders simply don't build them anymore. Which makes the ones we already have increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
If you've got a bungalow in Aldridge and you've been wondering what it's worth right now, we'd love to have that conversation. 👇

🏡 Did you know the UK ranks only 29th in Europe for homeownership? It might surprise you!

Britain has always had that dream of owning your own home — but compared to much of Europe, we're actually sitting pretty low down the table.

Over in Eastern Europe, it's a very different story. Most countries there have over 85% of homes owner-occupied. Here in the UK, it's around 65% — putting us in similar territory to the Dutch and Swedes, and slightly ahead of France. Germany sits even lower at just 47%, which just goes to show there's no one-size-fits-all approach across Europe.

What it does tell us is how tough it's become for many people here to get onto — and stay on — the property ladder. Bigger deposits, affordability pressures, and the ever-rising cost of moving have all taken their toll. And with older homeowners holding onto their properties for longer, there are simply fewer homes coming to market for younger buyers.

But here's the thing — the desire to own a home in Britain hasn't gone anywhere. For most people, it still means security, stability, and something real to leave for the next generation.

So what does all of this mean for Aldridge? How does our local market stack up against the national picture — and what could it mean for prices, demand, and opportunity right here on our doorstep? I'll be sharing my thoughts on that very soon! 👀

In the meantime, here's a little quiz for you... 🤔

**What percentage of UK homes were owner-occupied back in 1980?**

(A) 55.6%
(B) 60.6%
(C) 65.6%
(D) 70.6%

📊 UK Property Market Update – Week 20 of 2026
The UK property market continues to quietly outperform expectations despite ongoing economic and political uncertainty.
🏡 Buyer demand remained steady 📈 New instructions stayed well above seasonal norms 🤝 Sales agreed continued to hold firm
However, rising stock levels mean buyers now have more choice than they’ve had for some time — creating increased competition between sellers.
This is also impacting pricing, with more properties seeing reductions and a growing gap between original asking prices and final agreed sale prices.
The takeaway?
✔️ Correctly priced, well-presented homes are still selling well ❌ Overpriced properties are increasingly being overlooked as buyers become more selective
In today’s market, strategy matters more than ever.

🏡 Despite everything going on in the world right now — inflation, higher mortgage rates, global uncertainty and the cost of living squeeze — the UK housing market continues to show remarkable resilience! 💪
Between mid April and mid May this year, more than 104,000 homes were sold subject to contract across the UK 🤩 Yes, that's below the extraordinary post-Covid surge of 2021 — but strip away the boom years and lockdown distortions and a very different picture emerges. The British public are still moving home in surprisingly healthy numbers! 🇬🇧
The market isn't booming 📈 — but it isn't broken either 🙅 Buyers are still buying, sellers are still selling, and life continues to move on. 😊
