Thanks for those useful graphs housebuyer Smile

Lookign at the year on year gains, the trend definetely looks lower with corrective rallies, so the recent rise in interest rates is likely to resume the downtrend into negative growth i.e. falling house prices

The base rate chart looks interesting, suggesting a new uptrend is underway pointing to much higher interest rates well above 5% !

Yeh, to me they are pointing to at least 6% and may even go as high as 7% !

The interest rate chart looks very scary, should shock someone looking to mortgage up! clearly 4.75% IS a low interest rate, instead of cuts, raises are much more likely, imagien what would happen with 15% rates !

The money markets have priced in 2 rises, so at the least novembers rate rise looks assured

I presume that the mortgage lenders follow the money market rates ?

Hence would they not already have upped the mortgage interest payments in anticipation of a rates rise ?

The mortgages tend to track the base rate more closely than the money market rates

A new way of viewing house prices



It compares the level of interest rates with earnings and house prices, rather than comparing earnings to prices. It points towards strong price growth next year

Yes, that would explain why house prices have risen over the last few years when many have expected them to fall
