June 2026 has brought a notable shift in the housing market that’s worth paying attention to if you’ve been on the fence about moving. Rightmove’s latest House Price Index shows that average asking prices have fallen by 0.6% this month — a drop of around £2,113 — to £376,191. More strikingly, this is the biggest June price fall in fourteen years. Combined with mortgage rates edging down to 5.07%, the picture for buyers in Ipswich and across Suffolk is looking noticeably more encouraging than it did this time last year.

For sellers, the message is clear: pricing realistically is now more important than ever, with buyers having more choice and taking a less urgent approach. But for buyers who’ve been waiting for the right moment, well-priced properties in good locations are increasingly available — with record choice at this time of year. That combination of more homes on the market and lower asking prices is exactly what prompts people to finally take the plunge.

Once the decision to move is made, the logistics of actually shifting house can feel daunting — especially if you’ve accumulated years of belongings, furniture, and cherished items that need packing, transporting, and safely unpacking at the other end. Getting a reliable removals company booked in early takes an enormous amount of stress out of the whole process.
