The Halifax house price index in the United Kingdom increased 10.5% year-on-year in May of 2022, the slowest rate of growth seen since the start of the year. Compared to the previous month, house prices increased 1%, below 1.2% in April, the eleventh consecutive monthly rise, pushing average price to buy a home to a new high of £289,099. "The housing market has begun to show signs of cooling. Mortgage activity has started to come down and, coupled with the inflationary pressures currently exerted on household budgets, it’s likely activity will start to slow. So, there is perhaps one green shoot for prospective purchasers; with overall buying demand down compared to last year, we may be past the peak sellers’ market”, Russell Galley, Managing Director, Halifax, said. source: Halifax and Bank of Scotland
