A measured pace of house price growth is expected over the next few years, as bank rate cuts and falling mortgage rates 📉 are offset by high stock levels 🏘️, a subdued economic backdrop 📊, and ongoing geopolitical risks 🌍.
Growth of 1.6% is forecast by the end of 2025, rising to 2.0% in 2026 📅.
Almost half (47%) of agents expect prices in the sales market to stay the same over the next 3 months ➡️, while 38% expect an increase 🔼.
Given high stock levels and strong competition among listings ⚖️, sellers need to remain realistic and price correctly from the outset to attract buyers 🎯.
