If you’re thinking about buying your first home, you might be wondering what the average asking price is, and what’s happening in the housing market right now.

We’ve seen the number of sales agreed for first-time buyer-type homes increase the most out of all property types when compared to the more normal, pre-pandemic property market of 2019. This could be because of the competitive rental market we’re seeing at the moment, with buyers who are able to raise a deposit now taking steps towards buying their first home.

The average asking price of a first-time buyer home (homes with two bedrooms or fewer) is currently just below £225,000. So, what could you expect to find around this price if you’re searching for your first house?
