House prices in England and Wales fell slightly again last month, according to figures from the Land Registry.

The average house price in May fell by 0.2% from April to £152,497, while the annual rate of decline was 15.9%.

This was a slight slowdown on the 16.2% year-on-year drop recorded for both April and March.

The latest Land Registry data comes a week after the Council of Mortgage Lenders said lending levels across the UK fell back again in May.

BBC News

I thought things were improving?! <_<

Interest rates are at a historic low and we are rapidly increasing national debt in an attempt to save the housing market but prices are still falling.

'Course as we all know this reflects activity around Feb/March time so predates prime mainstream "greeeeeen shooooots" fever. The next couple of reports are likely to be "less negative" but will be spun as a continuing recovery by VIs. Let's not be as dumb as them and call this what it is.

As you bears were so fond of saying at the start of the crash, the LR is based on actual registered transactions and lags the lenders figures significantly :rolleyes: .

Look for a monthly rise in a couple of months as it follows the Haliwide.

Be gracious in defeat. You bulls have taken another kicking this month. :lol:

Unfortunately, I believe that you may have a point.

Also from the BBC webpage:

North East hit

All regions of England saw annual prices fall again May, with the North East posting the sharpest decline - down 17.2%.

The North East also saw the biggest month-on-month fall, with May prices 4.3% lower than April.

However, Wales and four English regions - East, North East, West Midlands, South East - saw prices increase in May compared with April.

The Land Registry also said that the average number of property transactions totalled 31,091 between December of last year and March, more than half less than the 64,674 a year earlier.

To what extent does this undermine the 'greenshoots' claims? Or should we be expecting the pick-up in transactions to show up in the next quarter results?

For what it's worth from an anecdotal angle - here in the West Midlands, using Property Bee, transactions (in terms of properties going SSTC on Rightmove) in the areas I track have dropped way back for June compared to what I was seeing in April and May. And like others have said on other threads on HPC, in the last couple weeks Estate Agents seem to have become a lot more proactive in terms of phoning me and sending e-mails.

How many houses were actually sold as well?

No FTB's are getting mortgages even if they want them.

I think most Bulls and Bears agree on here that there is a seasonal "bounce"

in property sales in the Spring/Summer months

Well if this is the bounce wait till November!!!

No problem with that, although I expect Haliwide will be in negative territory again by then
