U.K. Home Prices: Halifax and Nationwide November 2010

The latest release of the two most prominent home price indices for the United Kingdom are continuing to signal that the recent up-trend seen in U.K. home prices may be drawing to a close.

The “Nationwide” series, indicated that U.K. home prices declined since October dropping 0.6% and remaining just 0.39% above the level seen last year while the “Halifax” series declined by a whopping 1.25% since October and falling 2.42% below the level seen in November 2009.

Both indices are similar to our own S&P/Case-Shiller data series in that they both implement a methodology that seeks to standardize the quality homes included as source data and track the price changes occurring between sales instead of simply tracking the distorted average or median sales price.
