They have been falling for a couple of month around here but they are still way overpriced. I do wonder how the younger generation will ever get on the property ladder. |

If Jim was here he’d say 42.
Me? I don’t know it’s a gamble isn’t it? Do you wait or do you move now? People thought house prices would fall after Covid but they actually went up, good luck anyway, hope it all works out  |

If your in no rush I'd wait as they will come down a bit more.
But then the interest rate is going up. So what you save in one hand you will pay with the other.
Get as much deposit as you can . |

The problem with falling prices, of they fall too much, is that lots of people will fall in negative equity again and with mortgage rates going up will be stuck. What's good gor some not so for others. |

Mortgage rates go up, peoples ability to raise funds decreases. However supply remains incredibly low. Maybe a wave of repossessions may have a slight effect but I don't see house prices dramatically falling. Just more people staying put and bunkering as the market and economy cools down. So maybe even less property on the market and less sales transactions. Which will help hold up prices. |

Just my opinion..
In the short term they’ll fall as interests rates rise, recession bites and people stay put rather than move.
Longer term they’ll rise because we’re a nation of home owners; and demand for housing outstrips supply. Has done for years and will do until/unless new house building dramatically increases for a number of years to catch up |

The housing shortage is so bad even if construction went full pelt it could be decades before supply and demand is balance. Plus (realms of conspiracy theory here) I suspect many in high positions do well out high property values and their general trends of increasing in value significantly long term. Just look at property bought in the 90s, even after a huge property crash and maybe a smaller dip in the next year its still made super inflation betting value, especially if its also been generating revenue. So one wonders exactly how truly dedicated those in power are to building enough new homes for our exponentially rising population? It seems to me to some extent the ownership of property is power. |

Agree.
House prices rising give a feel good factor to homeowners that spreads out into other areas of the economy.
No government that wishes to remain in power will want to preside over a housing market where prices are stagnant at best or long term decline at worst. |

Estate agent told my cousin a couple of weeks ago to expect a 25% drop next year, she was looking to sell to pay off her ex but she won’t have enough equity in the house if that’s the case. |

I purchased a house in September 89 and by Christmas was worth half what I paid for it and the interest was about 13% gave the keys back.
Any one thinking of buying wait till interest has stopped going up and the market has leveld off.. |

I read recently that the current estimates are that this year will still end up showing an increase over the year even though prices have started to fall, next year is due to show about a 3% fall and the year after about a 5% fall before they start to increase again in 2025, so if you’re looking to get on the property ladder, waiting a couple of years seems the best option if that works for you. |

Yes. A little , probably 10% next year who knows.
Not a great time to get on the ladder with fixes likely at 4-6% next year and below inflation wage rises in the uk unless you have a lot of capital or can work abroad and repatriate your mortgage payments without paying tax.

It’s could happen. But it’s highly unlikely. A lot will depend on Russia , if the 300K turn out to be for a war with NATO it could happen. If Europe & America admits they made a stupid mistake and apologise to Russia , they might still sell their enemies gas and things could recover very quickly even if the war doesn’t end |

Interest rates were shocking back then, my first mortgagee was 15% only had the house a couple of years and sold for not much more than paid, wasn’t an ideal time to have a mortgage that’s for sure, thankfully we are mortgage free and would prefer interest rates to be higher now, always seem to work out the wrong way  |

Time will tell, house prices have gone silly, just sold one nearly 50% more than we paid for it 5 years ago, which is crazy to how things were. |

No real effect here in rural Carmarthenshire.
Demand has dropped off a little in the usual Christmas lull, but is expected to pick up again in the next couple of weeks.
Prices are still steady and not expected to fall from current values due to the value for money, connectivity, and lifestyle here compared with many other more expensive areas of the UK. |

Still rising in my area, just about to start a full renovation on my house and had an agent out to value it with opinions on price after work is completed and was shocked at how in 4 years the price has already more than doubled! |

New house building market is vey slowly declining
Announced beginning of December that several of the big companies are now only going to build what is pre sold from plans
New build always has and always will go quiet over Christmas period
But never heard big players announce they will only build pre sold plots
They obviously Batterning down the hatches awaiting a storm |
