CSO property prices ↗How to read it
01Demand remains firm. Prices grew 6.2% nationally and first-time-buyer purchases rose 17.4% annually in May.
02Supply is improving. Q1 completions reached a series high, with increases across apartments, schemes and single homes.
03Affordability is still tight. Mortgage rates have eased, but purchase prices and new-tenancy rents continue to rise.
Housing releases have different publication cycles and may be revised. Dates are shown beside every figure; the RPPI, rather than median prices, is the official measure of price movement.
