Are Property Prices On The Rise Again?
Simon discusses the latest news from the Halifax Building Society regarding the upward movement of property prices for two consecutive months. He also explores the potential implications of these price increases for property investors and shares their perspective on the future of the property market. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property prices in the UK have been increasing for the past two months, driven by a slight easing of mortgage interest rates and a shortage of housing stock availability. The average house price in October was just under £282,000, which was a rise of £3,000 from September, and there was a further 0.5% increase in November. The property market experienced a boom during COVID due to government interventions such as stamp duty holidays and bounce back loans, which stimulated the market and caused prices to rise unexpectedly. Simon anticipates a further dip in prices in 2024, with a potential recovery in quarter two of that year if interest rates come down. BEST MOMENTS "I think we're seeing a property price correction, not a property market crash." "If you follow my five golden rules in my book, Property Magic, it really doesn't matter what happens to property prices in the short term, as long as you know you can rent the property out, make a positive cash flow, and you're planning to hold for the long term." "I personally am going to be doing a lot more property investing in 2024 than I think I probably have in the last decade."
