Transactions to climb as house prices ‘no longer over-valued’ – Zoopla

Property prices are likely to morph from "over-valued" to "fair value" by the end of the year, says property portal, despite an anticipated 1.5% increase in average prices.

'The risk of a major collapse in house prices is becoming less of a concern,' says Zoopla, although some areas could see a 5% decline next year.

Average asking prices fell 0.6% through 2025, but Rightmove is forecasting 'a better year for price growth in 2026 with a strong rebound in activity to kick start the year.'
