Rightmove records biggest June asking-price fall in 14 years as new sellers price down 0.6%

Rightmove's June index shows the average asking price fell 0.6% (£2,113) this month to £376,191 — the biggest June drop in 14 years and 0.5% below a year ago. A near-record level of homes for sale is handing buyers choice and pushing new sellers to price keenly. For sellers, realistic pricing from day one now matters more; for buyers, there is more room to negotiate as summer stock builds. This is softer asking prices, not achieved prices — a cooler market, not a falling one.
