ARK’s Market Synopsis

By Chris Seeley · 27 January 2022

Welcome to the latest edition of ARK’s market synopsis report covering market outcomes to the end of November 2021.

What’s going on?

Market reports remain bullish up to the end of November citing strong levels of activity due to a shortage of properties, strong labour market and competition amongst mortgage lenders.
Halifax report a strong uptick for flat values “with double-digit annual price inflation for flats (+10.8%) over the last year compared to slower gains for detached properties (6.6%)” Could this be a sign that the “Race for Space” is slowing down?
However, Omicron, rising inflation, the possible increase in interest rates, the ‘cost-of-living’ crisis and increasing threat levels from Russia on the wider political platform may all put the brakes on things in the coming months.
