House Price Update 7 December 2011

UK House Prices Situation: Economic uncertainty proving contagious

UK House Prices Forecast: Weak pricing likely to continue into Q1 2012

Asking Prices Down 3.1% in November

Property website Rightmove has reported that average asking prices fell by 3.1% in November, the largest monetary fall since December 2007 and the third-largest fall the company has ever recorded.

Every single region of the UK – even Greater London – reported falling asking prices in November, the first time this has happened for over three years. Commenting on the figures, Miles Shipside, Rightmove's Commercial Director said:

"Agents report that many would-be sellers are postponing their marketing until the New Year, influenced by the current wall-to-wall media coverage of the Greeks and Italians attempting to get their own far-flung houses in order. It’s no great surprise that those who have braved the stormy conditions have had to accept a substantial ‘haircut’ on their asking prices.”

Agreed House Prices Up 0.4% in November

While asking prices may be plummeting, the latest figures from mortgage lender Nationwide show that there is little change in the prices being agreed between buyers and sellers.

Nationwide recorded a 0.4% increase in agreed prices in November. This figure is based on new mortgage deals agreed by the lender, so does not include the whole market.

November's 0.4% increase follows an identical increase in October and leaves the annual rate of change at 1.6%. Despite this cautiously optimistic news, Robert Gardner, Nationwide's Chief Economist says that in 2012, "house price growth is likely to remain soft, with prices moving sideways or drifting modestly lower over the next twelve months."
