Annual descriptive price statistics for each calendar year 2005 – 2024 for 11 Local Government Districts in Northern Ireland. The statistics include: • Minimum sale price • Lower quartile sale price • Median sale price • Simple Mean sale price • Upper Quartile sale price • Maximum sale price • Number of verified sales Prices are available where at least 30 sales were recorded in the area within the calendar year which could be included in the regression model i.e. the following sales are excluded: • Non Arms-Length sales • sales of properties where the habitable space are less than 30m2 or greater than 1000m2 • sales less than £20,000. Annual median or simple mean prices should not be used to calculate the property price change over time. The quality (where quality refers to the combination of all characteristics of a residential property, both physical and locational) of the properties that are sold may differ from one time period to another. For example, sales in one quarter could be disproportionately skewed towards low-quality properties, therefore producing a biased estimate of average price. The median and simple mean prices are not ‘standardised’ and so the varying mix of properties sold in each quarter could give a false impression of the actual change in prices. In order to calculate the pure property price change over time it is necessary to compare like with like, and this can only be achieved if the ‘characteristics-mix’ of properties traded is standardised. To calculate pure property change over time please use the standardised prices in the NI House Price Index Detailed Statistics file.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of house sales in the UK spiked, followed by a period of decline. In 2023 and 2024, the housing market slowed notably, and in January 2025, transaction volumes fell to 46,774. House sales volumes are impacted by a number of factors, including mortgage rates, house prices, supply, demand, as well as the overall health of the market. The economic uncertainty and rising unemployment rates has also affected the homebuyer sentiment of Brits. How have UK house prices developed over the past 10 years? House prices in the UK have increased year-on-year since 2015, except for a brief period of decline in the second half of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. That is based on the 12-month percentage change of the UK house price index. At the peak of the housing boom in 2022, prices soared by nearly 14 percent. The decline that followed was mild, at under three percent. The cooling in the market was more pronounced in England and Wales, where the average house price declined in 2023. Conversely, growth in Scotland and Northern Ireland continued. What is the impact of mortgage rates on house sales? For a long period, mortgage rates were at record-low, allowing prospective homebuyers to take out a 10-year loan at a mortgage rate of less than three percent. In the last quarter of 2021, this period came to an end as the Bank of England rose the bank lending rate to contain the spike in inflation. Naturally, the higher borrowing costs affected consumer sentiment, urging many homebuyers to place their plans on hold and leading to a decline in sales.
