House Prices Indices


Lavalas

Recommended Posts

Or should that be indexes

Well here’s a thread to discuss the latest House Price Indices. Nationwide, Acadata, Land Reg, Halifax, RICS, whatever. 

Even Savills mad predictions if you like.

What’s going on nationally, what’s the trend and why, false dawns, possible jubilation, depressing rises, all that shit.

National, local, anececdotal.

Detailed chat useful for reference in the main thread.

I’ll update if I remember and it’s not too depressing. Please do the same if you can be arsed.

The Forex Factory calendar is useful for seeing when the latest ones will be released along with the forecasts a few days before...

https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php

Latest one was the RICS survey.

Big fan of reading the whining estate agent comments...

I live in Edinburgh, and can confirm that the last 12 months have seen prices skyrocket. The anecdotals I hear about prices dropping elsewhere in the UK might as well be the other side of the world. It's a microcosm of madness in the Lothians.

LCP and LSL Acadata are my favourites geek that I am.We must be due one,I get them by email.

 

https://www.propertyindustryeye.com/mind-the-gap-selling-prices-reported-by-lender-a-long-way-off-rightmoves-asking-prices/

'Mind the gap! Selling prices reported by lender a long way off Rightmove’s asking prices

House price growth has reached its lowest annual level for more than five years, Halifax claims.

The bank’s October House Price Index showed annual growth in the market slowed from 2.5% in September to 1.5% last month, the lowest rate since March 2013.

On a monthly basis prices grew marginally, by just 0.7%, after consecutive monthly falls in August and September.

This left average prices at £227,869, but a long way off the latest new asking prices on  Rightmove of £307,245.

The average Halifax figure is still ahead of Nationwide data which last week claimed house price growth was also at a five-year low of 1.6% to £214,534.

Russell Galley, managing director at Halifax, said: “House prices continue to be supported by the fact that the supply of new homes and existing properties available for sale remains low.

“Further house price support comes from an already high and improving employment rate and historically low mortgage rates which are creating higher rates of relative affordability.

“We see this continuing to be the case over the coming months and we remain supportive of our 0-3% forecast range.”

Commenting on the Halifax figures, Lucy Pendleton, founder director of London firm James Pendleton estate agents, said discounting has become more common to attract buyers.

She said: “The most sluggish rate of growth for over half a decade mirrors exactly what is being witnessed on the high street.

“The sense of urgency with which people are adjusting their prices has increased. Discounts of £200,000 on homes over a million were rare six months ago but are now not uncommon.

“We’ve narrowly avoided a three-month run of negative price growth but in what is now certainly a buyers’ market in many areas of the country, the boot is now on the other foot.

“Sellers have needed some encouragement over the past few months to recognise the way the tea leaves were arranging themselves.

“However, the vast majority are now on the same page as buyers who have got more confident and less impatient. More often than not it’s us calling them, not the other way round any more.

“More agile vendors will likely improve the number of houses changing hands as people seal deals and buyers frustrated by a lack of affordability come back to the table.

“There’s no reason for vendors to lose hope though. If you are selling and buying, you can make up any shortfall in your budget by shopping well yourself. This is how the game is played and vendors in a flat market can still come out ahead.”'

LSL Acadata is out 0.4% mom and 1.0% yoy.I like the Acadata series because they use house sales not the mortgage approvals Haliwide guesses.

Big news is South East and North East report annual falls

 

Pie report it thus

https://www.propertyindustryeye.com/house-prices-grow-for-first-time-in-eight-months/

House prices have grown on a monthly basis for the first time in eight months, Your Move claims today.

Analysis by the agency shows average prices grew 0.4% between September and October to £304,433, the first monthly rise since February when values also rose by the same rate.

Annual growth did however fall for the second month in a row to 1%.

Most regions registered annual growth, except the south-east and north-east of England which were down 0.1% and 0.2% respectively.

The midlands tops the annual growth tables with both the east and west up, 2.8% and 3.1% respectively.

Estimated sales for last month were 6% down on October last year, but the agent said transactions were 2% higher than October 2016.

Oliver Blake, managing director of Your Move, said: “Whilst price growth has slowed considerably in England and Wales, the fact that there is a relatively strong economic backdrop, and there have been three consecutive months of growth, means it’s not all doom and gloom.”

It’s pleasing that the LSL index paints a bit more of a sobering picture in North West and Yorkshire as they’re the ‘up north’ areas that you constantly hear the southern Landlords are heading for in search of yield. Although looking at the Midlands maybe there’s a ripple on the way?

Last week the usually sobering Land Reg providing some potential cheers with 0% m/m.

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-house-price-index-summary-september-2018

Today though, Rightmove clocks in with a -1.7% monthly fall and a sweet -0.2% annual fall. First since 2011.

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Rightmove-House-Price-Index-19th-Nov-2018-FINAL.pdf

Yeah I know it’s just asking prices so essentially a measure of seller sentiment and estate agent bullishness but surely they must also resemble in some form the price buyers are willing to pay, and surely that will be reflected more so as the market turns. I think it’s also non seasonally adjusted and a much neater dataset than some of the others.

Whatever, today I like the right move index.

Regional highlights include a whopping -2.4% m/m in Yorkshire and Humber. Not sure how meaningful that is over such a large and diverse area but will take it gladly.

Also London Zones 1 to 5 now all negative year on year. Just waiting for Zone 6 to turn from 3.1%.

Zone 1 central London down 6.9%. Chunky.

Days on market and stock levels across the board not yet that much different so no stampede for the exits, yet.

Next month should see more falls, Spring is going to be key, if prices don't harden again as usual seasonally we're off the to the races.

I skipped Nationwide last week because I was feeling how ridiculous it is pay any attention to such a vested interest, plus it was up a bit.

Anyway, there are no rules here and I’m pleased to report that Halifax weighed in today with a -1.4% m/m, -1.1% q/q and +0.3% y/y

Look the actual selling prices and number of sales.

Had a full cycle of updates since last visited this thread, in addition to Acadata kindly posted by Sancho above.

Nationwide: -0.7% m/m +0.5% y/y

Land Reg: -0.2% m/m +2.7% y/y

Rightnove: -1.5% m/m +0.7% y/y

Halifax: +2.2% m/m +1.3% y/y

 

Halifax was in with a shot of going y/y negative so predictably posted a hefty increase. There’s no doubting the trend though.

Interesting graph in the Nationwide release showing y/y North vs South. The south is now annual negative but the main index is being held up by the North which has been broadly flat at 3/4% since 2016.  I’m sure we’re all familiar with the reasons why that might be but if we’re really just interested in sentiment here then I’m looking forward to the south dragging things down further, not least because you guys down there might then be able to get something a little less scandalously expensive.

There’s so much at play I’m not predicting anything really - just trying to enjoy the ride and not let it bother me :)

I think after that Brexit vote the crutches might just be thrown away and this thing will be able to walk unaided. Have you not noticed the Builder shares today? There will be some serious ramping in the RICs reports soon, when/if Brexit is finally scuppered.
