With a total stock of homes for sale constrained and down 24% in June, demand remains high compared to the 2020 average. Price growth hit 10-years high in Wales, Yorkshire and North-East England, Zoopla reported recently.
Buyer demand remains elevated despite the long stamp duty holiday. Price growth of almost 5% lifted 1.8 million UK homes into a higher range of stamp duty. As you can see from the graph below, demand continues to outstrip the supply of homes.
