Rightmove

Rightmove is a UK-based property website that provides data and insights into the housing market. It is newsworthy due to its recent reporting on a significant "new year bounce" in the UK property market. According to Rightmove's data, the average asking price of a British home has increased by almost £10,000 in just five weeks, marking the largest monthly increase in a decade. This surge is attributed to a regaining of optimism within the housing market. While other sources, like Nationwide, forecast potential house price increases in the coming years (up to 4% in 2026), Rightmove's immediate data reflects a current upward trend, making it a key indicator of the UK property market's performance and sentiment.
