Are There More Homes for Sale in Plymouth?

A Comparable Map between October 2025 and October 2024

The data shows an intriguing north-south split in the UK housing market.


Here’s how the regions compare for the change in the number of homes for sale in October 2025 versus October 2024:

·       London: +9.5%
·       South East: +5.5%
·       South West: +5.0%
·       East Anglia: +3.7%
·       East Midlands: +1.7%
·       West Midlands: +1.6%
·       Yorkshire & Humber: +0.2%
·       Wales: -0.2%
·       North East: -2.1%
·       Scotland: -2.7%
·       North West: -5.4%
·       Northern Ireland: -12.9%


More homes are coming onto the market in the South, particularly in London and regions around it, where the number of homes for sale are up sharply. 


Is that a reflection of the higher house prices and cost-of-living pressures in those regions as household budgets are tight, homeowners with larger mortgages and higher running costs often move first?


Or is it the opposite, more people are wanting to move because they are more confident? Or could it be they may be downsizing, relocating for affordability, or simply deciding to sell while prices remain relatively strong? Greater supply means house price growth could be muted in 2026? Meanwhile, much of the North is seeing stock levels tighten, suggesting fewer people are choosing or needing to sell.

Plymouth's property market is more than just bricks and mortar; it's a tapestry woven with history, unique trends, and surprising facts. Delve into these lesser-known insights that make the city's real estate truly distinctive.

You've found a home you love. Now what? Making an offer can feel nerve-wracking : especially for the first time. Here's exactly what to do and what to expect once you've taken the plunge.

So you've decided you want to buy your first home. Brilliant. That feeling of having your own place, your own front door, your own space — there's nothing quite like it. But before you start falling in love with listings on Rightmove, there's one conversation that needs to happen first: money.

Most sellers have a clear picture of what they want from the moment their home goes on the market: good photos, on Rightmove, viewings booked. What is less clear is what should be happening in the weeks that follow, and what a genuinely good agent looks like once the initial excitement of launch has settled down.
