House price inflation remained down against the year in March despite improving consumer sentiment, the latest Zoopla House Prices Index (HPI) has found.
Average property prices were 0.2% lower year-on-year, the property listing website reported – a similar fall to the one recorded in the previous month’s HPI. But they could be set for a rebound as the number of agreed sales grew 12% in the four weeks to 21 April compared to the same period in 2023.
