"

Main takeaways from today’s House Price release:

  • The average price of a property in the UK was £250,772
  • House prices are 8.9% higher today than they were a year ago
  • House prices have dropped 1.9% in the last month
  • House prices are 31.5% higher than they were in January 2015

Insights & Analysis:

“Almost a full house of regional monthly house price declines in the wake of the original stamp duty holiday deadline gives a good indication of what awaits the market at the backend of this year. The market looks set to slow, and selling your home could get harder.

A correction is on the way and we can expect to see a weary market start to show signs of house price fatigue as early as next month, following the initial wind-down of the stamp duty holiday.”
