Zoopla UK House Price Index – OCTOBER 2023 (Watch/Listen)

Jim Parker October 30, 2023

 

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/Zoopla-UK-House-Price-Index–OCTOBER-2023-e2ba3mp

 

Executive summary

 

  • House price inflation has slowed from 9.6% to -1.1% over the last year

 

  • 4 in 5 housing markets are registering small annual price falls

 

  • Regulation of mortgage lending has built market resilience to higher mortgage rates although    household buying power remains lower

 

  • Transactions have been hit hardest and will be 23% lower than 2022

 

  • First-time buyers and cash buyers account for 2 in 3 sales in 2023

 

  • Low price falls and 5% mortgage rates mean housing is still expensive

 

  • We expect UK house prices to fall 2% over 2024 as rising incomes steadily repair housing affordability

 

  • 2024 is set for another year of 1m sales. This could be higher if mortgage rates fall back towards 4%    sooner than expected in 2024
