How long a house stays on the market can depend on a number of things such as the time of year, house prices and location.
The ongoing cost-of-living crisis and high mortgages have made many buyers more cautious and houses have stayed on the market for longer.
Sale times notably dropped in locations where house prices surged, the data showed.
Many parts of the south have been affected by rising house prices.
As a result, southern locations including Dartford, Exeter, Luton and Ipswich have fallen off the top 25 list since last year.
The midlands and the north have also been affected by slowing selling times.
Rugby, Worcester, Coventry, Redditch, central Manchester, Bury, Wigan and Chorley all dropped off the list from last year.
