RICS predicts ongoing price rises and activity in 2010

The RICS reports that the inventory of housing stock on agents books remains close to historically low levels but that supply will gradually increase through 2010. However it is unlikely to keep pace with a strengthening demand for property, thus providing a platform for further house price rises in 2010. Continuing economic challenges will play their part in restraining large price rises but the RICs predicts a rise of 2% in house values over 2010. They also predict that the volume of sales will increase by 15 to 20% over the year compared to 2009.

Market Continues to Improve

A lack of supply is underpinning a gradual resurgence in house prices. The lack of new properties to the market still fails to satisfy an increase in demand for property which is gaining in confidence. Nationwide have reported a further rise in house prices in September being the fifth consecutive monthly price rise. Transaction levels are gradually improving from historically low levels. The market is however still price sensitive and over valued properties are generally not finding buyers. Demand for middle market family houses between £250,000 and £600,000 in school catchment areas is as strong as it has been for 18 months reports Director Robert Toomey.

House prices rise in May

Both the Halifax and Nationwide house price indeces showed increases in May with respective rises of 2.6% and 1.2% for the month. The annual rate of house price decline has improved sharply as a result. The house price to earnings ratio, a key affordability measure has declined from a peak of 5.84 to 4.36. These figuers provide tentative indications of price stabilisation.
