That said, with mortgage rates continuing to ease, we may see an increase in confidence from buyers over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we move through 2024, the UK property market will continue to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/the-uk-housing-affordability-crisis-challenges-first-time-buyers-solutions-address-them\/126193\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reflect the wider economic uncertainty<\/a> and buyers and sellers are likely to be naturally cautious when considering making a move. While wage growth is now above inflation, helping to ease cost of living pressures for some and improving housing affordability, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/industry-reacts-bank-of-england-5-interest-rate-highest-15-years\/128699\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interest rates are likely to remain elevated<\/a> for as long as inflation remains markedly above the Bank of England\u2019s target.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our latest forecast suggests house prices could fall between -2% and -4% during the coming year, although, as with recent years, forecast uncertainty remains high given the current economic climate.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Other industry voices were doggedly optimistic about 2024&#8217;s house prices<\/h3>\n<p>Director of Benham and Reeves, Marc von Grundherr, commented: \u201cA clean sweep of positive house price growth in December could be considered somewhat of a Christmas miracle given the turbulent year 2023 turned out to be.<\/p>\n<p>However, those of us on the front lines have been observing a growing level of market momentum for some months now and so it was always a question of when, not if, this started to boost market health where house price growth is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>The property market has once again demonstrated its resilience in the face of economic uncertainty and while challenges still remain, you\u2019d be ill-advised to predict a fall in property values over the coming year just a few short days into January.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CEO of Octane Capital, Jonathan Samuels, commented: \u201cA freeze on interest rates has certainly helped to steady the ship and not only have we seen mortgage approvals start to climb, but house prices are now starting to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With the base rate remaining at its highest since 2008, we\u2019re not yet out of the woods, but we can now see the light through the trees, and it\u2019s difficult to anticipate anything other than further positivity on the horizon in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Average UK house prices rose by +1.1% in December 2023, according to the Halifax House Price Index, with the typical home now costing \u00a3287,105.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":135931,"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-135926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-affordable-housing","9":"tag-economy","10":"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>Average UK house prices trend upwards for third month in a row<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Average UK house prices rose by +1.1% in December 2023, according to the Halifax House Price Index, with the typical home now costing \u00a3287,105\" \/>\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\/average-uk-house-prices-trend-upwards-third-month-in-a-row\/135926\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Average UK house prices trend upwards for third month in a row\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Average UK house prices rose by +1.1% in December 2023, according to the Halifax House Price Index, with the typical home now costing \u00a3287,105\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/average-uk-house-prices-trend-upwards-third-month-in-a-row\/135926\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
