House Price Index data released this week showed 3.4% increase in house prices in the year to June. (Thanks Financial Reporter @ Warren Lewis and Mortgage Finance Gazette @ Kate Saines for publishing my comments). Growth was greatest for terraced and semi-detached properties (unsurprisingly). We are seeing a marked difference between more bullish homeowners/investors and cautious institutions, which is affecting the data. Meanwhile, the Crown Estate suffered a £500m down valuation and MSCI Inc. released data showing a -6.6% change in value across the real estate sector (6 months). These data points are not directly comparable, and they mask a lot of subtly, but I think they are worth sharing. The difference between residential and commercial; prime and non-prime #realestate is showing. Our focus in on non-prime residential. What will you invest in?
