by | Oct 11, 2023 | Clients

The Hometrack UK House Price Index analyses housing market trends at a city level on a monthly basis – across 20 cities, plus regions, and nationally.

Executive summary

  • Annual UK house price inflation moves negative to -0.5%, ranging from 1.6% in Scotland to -1.5% in the South East and Eastern regions
  • Demand ticks higher over September as market sentiment improves
  • Buyers unwilling to compromise on what they want in face of higher borrowing costs, waiting for price falls and/or lower mortgage rates
  • Mortgage rates expected to fall slowly in Q4 2023
  • Number of buyers will increase once mortgage rates get below 4.5%
  • A buyers’ market remains – the average discount to the asking price to achieve a sale up to 4.2%, the highest since 2019
  • Average UK house prices on track to be 2-3% lower over 2023
