Halifax UK House Price Index
Housing Market Conditions
UK Housing market conditions changed only slightly over the past 12 months and market conditions have been largely unchanged since November 2010. This stability in the overall supply/demand balance in the market helps to explain the modest movement in house prices.
A Slight Rise in House Sales
The number of completed house sales has risen to its highest levels of 2011 in October and November. The number of sales in November 2011 was the highest since December 2009, at a seasonally adjusted 79,000. Despite these recent signs
of improvement, total sales in the first 11 months of 2011 were 2.5% lower than in the same period of 2010.
