Market stability
- Price changes: 273 in July – down 2.5% on last year, suggesting seller expectations are steady.

- Properties for sale fell 2%.
- Sales agreed dropped 3.4%.
- Withdrawn listings dropped sharply (down 31.4%), while fall-throughs rose (up 31.9%).
- Asking prices still inched higher: new listings up 0.8%, sales agreed up 2.2%.
