The Wigan housing market in July 2025 is showing a mixed picture — prices are staying strong, but activity is easing compared to last summer.
Stock levels
- 1,999 properties for sale – down 1.8% from July 2024 and slightly below June’s 2,040.
- Still well above the six-year July average (1,674), meaning buyers have more choice than during the tighter markets of 2021–2022.
New listings
- 513 properties hit the market in July – down 11.4% year-on-year and unchanged from June.
- The slowdown in fresh supply could help support prices moving into the second half of 2025.
Sales agreed
- 461 transactions agreed in July – up 9.2% on last year but down from June’s 477.
- Activity remains healthy, though volumes haven’t consistently matched the six-year average of 419.
Prices remain strong
- Average asking price for new listings: £237,032 – up 7.8% year-on-year.
- £ per sq ft for new listings: £237 (up 8.2%).
- Sales agreed averaged £218,345 – up 3.4% year-on-year, with £ per sq ft at £227 (up 8.1%).
Summary
Wigan is in a balanced phase: prices are firm, stock levels are higher than historic norms, and serious buyers are still active. With new supply slowing, competitively priced homes are attracting strong interest.
