00:00Are we seeing a new boom in the UK housing market? August brought some unexpected news.
00:05House prices jumped 2.4% year-on-year, marking the fastest annual growth since late 2022.
00:12But is this a sign of a full recovery or just a temporary spike?
00:16Nationwide's latest report shows that while prices grew annually,
00:19they dipped slightly by 0.2% compared to July, missing economists' expectations.
00:26Still, the demand is strong. Mortgage approvals hit their highest since the infamous mini-budget
00:31by former PM Liz Truss. What's driving this trend?
00:34Experts say it's a mix of cheaper mortgages and a slowly recovering UK economy.
00:39As inflation cools down, lenders are trimming their rates, making homes a bit more affordable.
00:44But remember, house prices are still 3% below their peak from the summer of 2022,
00:50during the post-pandemic boom. The average price in August was £265,375.
00:58So, will this momentum continue, or are we in for more surprises?
01:02Stay tuned to see how the UK housing market evolves.
