Harlow property market August 2025 warmer or colder?
Jukes Estate Agents take their regular monthly look at the Harlow property market. Using data from property experts The Advisory (https://www.theadvisory.co.uk/), they look at the the four postcode sectors CM17, CM18, CM19 & CM20. The method is simply. They divide the amount of properties on the market by the amount of properties sold. This gives a percentage that they choose to call degrees. Therefore, we can see if the market is cooling down or heating up.
CM17
This postcode has dropped by 1% (1 degree) in the last month. Data sourced from The Advisory (https://www.theadvisory.co.uk/).
When we analyse this postcode we can see the following results since January 2024:
2024:
January 43%, February 39%, March 40%, April 45%, May 45%, June 47%.
July 49%, August 49%, September 45%, October 46%, November 47%, December 49%.

Cm17 dropped by just 1% last month. Considering the time of year, that is quite good. At 55% (degrees) it is still higher than at any time in 2024 and is the third highest month in 2025.
CM18
CM18 like CM17 dropped just 1% (degree) last month.
Let’s look at what this postcode has done since Jan 2024:
2024
January 57%, February 55%, March 62%, April 63%, May 61%, June 58%.
July 62%, August 61%, September 59%, October 55%, November 58%, December 63%.
2025
January 68%, February 63%, March 68%, April 70%, May 64%. June 66%. July 66%. August 65%
CM18 dropped 1% last month which isn’t bad at all considering we are bang in the middle of the summer holidays. CM18 needs to recover somewhat to get back to the 70% of April 2025.
CM19
Harlow property market August 2025 warmer or colder?
CM19 also dropped by 1% (degree) last month.
Let’s look at its performance since Jan 2024:
2024
January 45%, February 45%, March 52%, April 51%, May 47%, June 51%.
July 54%, August 56%, September 55%, October 56%, November 56%, December 58%.
2025
January 58%, February 52%, March 53%, April 53%, May 48%. June 51%. July 53%. August 52%.
CM19 has dropped by 1% this month which is exactly the same as CM17 & CM18. 2025 has been a difficult year for CM19 so far but this is almost certainly down to CM19 5 Roydon properties that are taken an age to sell!
CM20
CM20 has at last seen a rise, and it’s a decent 3% (3 degrees) in the last month.
Let’s look at its performance since Jan 2024:
2024
January 51%, February 49%, March 55%, April 56%, May 56%, June 60%.
July 61%, August 50%, September 55%, October 59%, November 61%, December 62%.
2025
January 66%, February 61%, March 61%, April 63%, May 56%. June 53%. July 52%. August 55%.
CM20 has at last started to recover. Will it be permanent? We will have to wait and see. However, we are almost back up to May 2025 levels but still a way off of the 66% in January.
CONCLUSION
3 postcodes fell by 1% each and one rose by 3% so Harlow stayed level in the last month and given the time of year, that is good. When we report in a months time we expect another small drop due to the ‘Summer Holidays’ but when we factor in the recent interest rate drop perhaps it will stay level? Watch this space!
