DID YOU KNOW?!!🤔🏡

📈 Exeter's rental market has changed significantly over the last five years.

Average rents have increased from £1,066 per month in 2021 to £1,286 in 2026 – a rise of 20.6%. Whilst that represents strong growth, Exeter has remained more affordable than many other areas across the UK, helping to sustain healthy tenant demand and long-term market resilience.

However, the market is evolving.

Tenants are becoming increasingly price-conscious, and the days of simply increasing rents without considering affordability may be coming to an end. Nationally, almost a third of rental listings have already seen asking rent reductions this year, highlighting the importance of accurate pricing and understanding local market conditions.

Despite this, demand for quality rental homes in Exeter remains robust. Well-presented properties in desirable locations continue to attract strong levels of interest, often generating multiple enquiries within days of coming to market.

Supply remains one of the key drivers behind rental values. While the number of rental properties available has increased slightly in 2026, availability remains well below pre-pandemic norms, with industry experts estimating the UK requires tens of thousands of additional rental homes each year to restore balance to the market.

For landlords, this creates both challenges and opportunities.

✅ Strong tenant demand
✅ Improving rental yields
✅ Low void periods for quality homes

Balanced against:

📍Higher mortgage costs
📍Increased regulation and compliance requirements
📍Rising maintenance and management expenses
📍Greater tenant expectations around property quality and energy efficiency

The Exeter buy-to-let market is undoubtedly more demanding than it was ten years ago, but it remains an attractive proposition for landlords who take a professional, long-term approach to their investments.

The easy gains may have gone, but the fundamentals remain strong. As we move through 2026, we expect rental growth to continue at a steadier pace, with rents likely to rise by a further 2-3% over the remainder of the year.

Whether you're an experienced landlord, considering your first buy-to-let investment, or simply interested in Exeter's property market, understanding the local trends has never been more important.

📈 UK PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE – Week 21

The Bank Holiday slowdown arrived right on schedule, with 22,100 homes sold subject to contract last week, down from 27,197 the week before. While activity eased, this is very much in line with seasonal expectations rather than any sign of a market downturn.

⭐️The bigger story remains supply.

Over 31,000 new homes came to market last week, taking the total number of homes for sale across the UK to almost 747,000. Buyers have more choice than they have had for some time, and that means pricing has never been more important.

The market is still moving: 👍

✅ Homes sold STC are up 1.7% year-to-date compared to 2024
✅ New listings are 5.1% ahead of last year
✅ Agreed sale prices are up 1.9% year-on-year

📍However, with so much choice available, buyers are becoming increasingly selective. Over 13% of homes currently on the market have reduced their asking price in the last month, highlighting the importance of getting the pricing strategy right from day one.

The takeaway? The market is healthy, but realistic pricing wins. Well-presented, correctly priced homes continue to attract attention and secure buyers, while ambitious pricing risks being overlooked.🏡🤷‍♂️

EXETER MAY 2026 HOUSE PRICE REVIEW!🏡

Are you a homeowner or landlord in Exeter? One of the most useful ways to judge the direction of the local property market is by tracking the average price paid for homes sold over the last 12 months, measured on a rolling monthly basis.

On its own, that figure only tells part of the story. Yet when you follow the trend month after month, it gives a fascinating insight into what is really happening in the market. That is why regular property market updates are shared across social media, helping local homeowners and landlords stay informed and one step ahead.

Whether you are thinking of moving, reviewing your investment portfolio, or simply curious about what your home might be worth in today’s market, a detailed no obligation market appraisal can help you better understand your position.

UK PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE - Week 20 2026: Buyers Still Buying… But Sellers Keep Coming! 🏡🏡🏡

Week 20 proved the UK housing market still has momentum.

📍27,197 homes sold STC last week, well above the long term Week 20 average, despite a second Bank Holiday month slowing normal routines. Buyers are still active and year to date sales remain ahead of 2024. But supply continues to surge.

📍Almost 40,000 new homes hit the market last week, keeping available stock levels above 730,000 homes nationwide. Buyers now have more choice than they have had for years and that changes seller behaviour completely.

This remains a market where presentation and pricing matter more than ever.

🤔 Only 14.6% of homes on the market found a buyer in the last month, while 13.1% reduced their asking price. Too many sellers are still chasing yesterday’s price instead of today’s market.

The encouraging news is values remain firm.

⭐️The average UK home sold STC last week at £368k and £358 per sq ft, both holding broadly in line with 2025 averages.

Bottom line? Buyers are out there. Homes are selling. But sellers who ignore competition are simply becoming the benchmark that makes correctly priced homes look irresistible.

🏡 41.2% OF EXETER’S UNDER 35s OWN THEIR OWN HOME – SO MUCH FOR “GENERATION RENT”?

For more than a decade, we've been told that homeownership is becoming increasingly out of reach for younger generations. Rising house prices, tougher mortgage regulations, deposit challenges, and economic uncertainty have all fuelled the belief that "Generation Rent" is here to stay.

Yet the latest Census data tells a very different story in Exeter.

📍In 2011, just 31.2% of Exeter residents aged under 35 owned their own home. By 2021, that figure had risen significantly to 41.2%.

📍That's a remarkable increase, especially when you consider what happened during that decade. Between 2011 and 2021, the UK experienced austerity measures, Brexit uncertainty, tighter lending criteria, rising property values, and ultimately a global pandemic. Despite these challenges, more than 22,800 Exeter residents aged 18–34 were living in homes they owned by 2021.

📍At the same time, private renting among under-35s fell from 48.5% to 41.8%, while social renting declined from 20.3% to 17.1%.

In simple terms, fewer young people were renting and more were becoming homeowners.

Of course, this doesn't mean affordability is no longer an issue. Saving for a deposit remains one of the biggest obstacles facing first-time buyers, and higher mortgage rates since 2022 have added fresh challenges. Many buyers still rely on family support to get onto the property ladder.🤔

However, what these figures clearly demonstrate is that the desire to own a home remains incredibly strong. Security, stability, and the opportunity to build a future in a place of your own continue to drive younger buyers forward.🏡

Exeter's appeal may also be playing a role. Offering a strong quality of life, excellent schools, beautiful surroundings, and comparatively good value when measured against many larger UK cities, Exeter continues to attract young professionals, families, and commuters seeking a better balance between affordability and lifestyle.

For local homeowners, landlords, and property investors, this trend is worth paying attention to. The demand from younger buyers has not disappeared—in fact, the evidence suggests it remains one of the key drivers of our local property market.
