Scotland and the North remained the most affordable regions but the level of mortage payments as a share of take-home pay were at the highest levels for a decade.<\/p>\n<p>With the Bank of England reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/bank-of-england-announces-largest-interest-rise-30-years-fight-inflation\/117975\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">considering raising interest rates again<\/a> this week- the tenth consecutive such rise- the outlook for the UK housing market remain cautious.<\/p>\n<h3>Industry voices are optimistic in reponse to the January 2023 Nationwide HPI figures<\/h3>\n<p>Nicky Stevenson, managing director at Fine &amp; Country commented: \u201cSubdued buyer demand is the strongest factor dampening house price growth, though average prices remain higher than they were a year ago, and 12% higher than they were in January 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough buyers have returned to the market in greater numbers since the shocks of the mini Budget last autumn, the Bank of England saw home loan approvals ease for the fourth consecutive month in December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA month without a base rate rise \u2013 when it finally comes \u2013 could be enough to produce a quick turnaround in home-buyer numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Bank of England weighs up whether to make a tenth successive hike in interest rates tomorrow, buyers will be hoping lenders have factored another rise into their products already. If mortgage rates remain stable, this could be enough to convince many people to resume their property search.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild of Property Professionals, says: \u201cHouse prices saw another modest fall in January, but a few signs mean there\u2019s hope on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/stamp-duty-cuts-affordability-and-the-housing-crisis\/116557\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The affordability factor is the biggest concern for buyers right now<\/a>, particularly those just starting on the property ladder. Mortgage rates went through the roof last year and shifted the goal posts for those saving for a deposit. It appears as though we are seeing some stability returning to the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe public can be assured that now is still a good time to buy if you are in a position to do so. You may even be able to save some money on the asking price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe economic backdrop remains challenging, but employment remains high, and fuel costs have fallen dramatically from their record highs last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith signs that inflation peaked at the tail end of 2022, buyers can be optimistic that the situation will improve in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Market correction rather than depreciation<\/h3>\n<p>Jack Roberts, CEO of home moving platform SlothMove responded to the January 2023 Nationwide HPI figures: \u201cIt\u2019s helter-skelter time for the housing market, with confusion reigning while the only real momentum is downwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems like only yesterday average house prices were climbing towards \u00a3300,000. Now they are nearing \u00a3250,000 and talk of soft landings for the market is becoming quieter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet there are still winners out there. With the tremors of last autumn\u2019s disastrous mini budget finally subsiding, the price war on mortgage is seeing rates threaten to dip below 4% for the first time in months. This, along with the falls in asking prices, will be giving some first-time buyers a better chance to get on the housing ladder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose looking to trade up could also be buoyed as the gap between their current rate and that on a new loan looks increasingly bridgeable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Managing director of House Buyer Bureau, Chris Hodgkinson, commented:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the market remains fairly strong, we can expect the herd mentality of the nation\u2019s homebuyers to continue to dampen house price growth.<\/p>\n<p>During the pandemic boom, homebuyers were falling over themselves to offer above the odds to secure a home. This tide has very much turned and while there remains a robust level of market activity, we\u2019re seeing a more reserved approach during the negotiation stage.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the nation\u2019s sellers are meeting in the middle and accepting a slightly lower price for their home, but this is very much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openaccessgovernment.org\/housing-market-crash-2023-house-proces\/151838\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a market correction rather than a slippery slope<\/a> of house price depreciation.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annual house price growth slowed to 1.1% and the monthly average house price fell 3.2% below last August&#8217;s peak in the latest January 2023 Nationwide HPI. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[666,908,571],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-120653","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-affordable-housing","8":"tag-economy","9":"tag-housing-crisis"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fifth month of decline in house prices in January 2023 Nationwide HPI<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Annual house price growth slowed to 1.1% and the monthly average house price fell 3.2% below last August&#039;s peak in the latest January 2023 Nationwide HPI\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/house-prices-decline-fifth-consecutive-month-january-2023-nationwide-hpi\/120653\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"House prices decline for fifth consecutive month in January 2023 Nationwide HPI\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Annual house price growth slowed to 1.1% and the monthly average house price fell 3.2% below last August&#039;s peak in the latest January 2023 Nationwide HPI\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/house-prices-decline-fifth-consecutive-month-january-2023-nationwide-hpi\/120653\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
