UK house prices dip as sellers seek deals before tax break ends - Rightmove

British real estate website Rightmove said asking prices for residential property fell in December and early January ahead of the expiry of a tax cut for buyers, but the country's booming housing market remained busy. Prices for houses and apartments advertised between Dec. 6 and Jan. 9 were down by 0.9% from the previous month, slowing the annual pace of growth to 3.3% from 6.6% a month earlier, Rightmove said. But the number of buyers contacting agents was up by 12% and the sales agreed were up by 9% in January so far compared with the same period a year earlier, when the market was also strong after Prime Minister Boris Johnson's December 2019 election victory.
