September sees highest number of homes listed this year

September brings post-summer surge in home seller activity, with highest number of homes listed so far in 2025

The latest internal data from eXp UK has shown that September has delivered a notable surge in market activity, with the firm recording an average of 81 new properties listed every day over the course of the month – the highest daily level seen across each month so far in 2025.

In fact, almost 2,431 homes were listed with eXp UK in September alone, marking a 19% increase versus the total seen in August.

This follows the usual seasonal decline seen during the summer months, with total instructions having fallen by 6% between July and August.

The daily average of 81 new listings marks a clear uplift not only on the quieter summer months, but also on every preceding month of the year, with the previous 2025 peak standing at 72 new instructions per day in May and June.

Adam Day, Head of eXp UK and Europe, commented:

“Summer is traditionally a slower period for the property market, and September often brings a post-holiday bounce as sellers return with renewed motivation. However, what is particularly striking this year is that the listings activity seen over September hasn’t just outpaced the summer lull, it has exceeded every month of 2025 to date.

On the buyers’ side, things remain somewhat muted as many wait for the dust to settle around the upcoming Autumn Budget, particularly with whisperings of a potential Stamp Duty shake-up.

However, it’s clear that many sellers are already preparing for a possible post-Budget uplift in buyer demand, getting their homes onto the market now in anticipation of increased appetites during the final months of the year.”
