HOUSE hunters could snap up a property for around £2,000 less than a year ago, and around £6,700 less than the average just a month ago, according to Rightmove.
Across Britain, 2025 is ending with average asking prices at 0.6% (£2,059) down on late 2024.
At £358,138, the average asking price in December is also 1.8% or £6,695 lower than in November.
Annual growth in asking prices has been strongest in the North West of England (2.6%), flat in London and mostly negative in the South West and South East (both at minus 2.7%), according to figures from the website.

Rightmove said prices usually fall in December but this year's decrease is bigger than usual.
