The Average UK home is £50k cheaper today than 2022
Here’s something that might surprise you… the UK house is almost £50k cheaper today than it was in 2022 – and people’s wages have gone up too!
Let me explain in the article below
📉 Headline House prices have barely moved – up just 3% since 2022 (£260,800 in Q1 ‘2022 to £268,500 in Q4 2024)
📊 Yet Inflation-adjusted house prices are down 15.64% – (the 2022 house price figure of £260,800, in today’s money, is £318,300) meaning the average UK home is effectively just under £50,000 cheaper in real terms.
💰 In this time, Real wages (wages after inflation) have risen 4.8%, meaning buyers now have more spending power.
This creates a rare opportunity for Attleborough home movers and first-time buyers. If you’ve been holding off because of high interest rates, consider this:
✅ The home you want to buy is effectively on sale.
✅ Interest rates are slowly coming down.
✅ Your income (in real terms) is higher than before.
✅ More homes on the market = more choice and negotiating power.

Smart Attleborough movers are taking advantage of this now – will you?
