Using figures from Property Solvers, we’ve calculated the towns and cities within Yorkshire where house prices are being reduced most.
We’ve taken the number of house price reductions recorded in May 2025 and divided it by the total number of sales agreed to work out the ratio of house price reductions to sales.
We’ve also looked at the streets in each area with the biggest house price reductions based on recent sales.
It should be noted that those figures are for individual properties so may not accurately reflect house prices as a whole on that street. A big reduction may simply indicate that the house was overpriced in the first place.
Below are the areas of Yorkshire with the lowest to highest ratios of house price reductions to sales agreed.
The higher the ratio, the more homes in that area are having their prices reduced as a proportion of total house sales.
The area with the most house price reductions as a proportion of total sales is listed last.
