House prices are increasing at the slowest rate since January 2024, according to CSO figures reported by multiple outlets. In June, residential property prices rise by 5.6% compared with the same month last year.
The latest growth rate is lower than the 6.1% figure recorded in the year to May 2026, indicating a gradual cooling in annual price inflation. Both reports cite the CSO dataset as the source of the figures and focus on the change in the year-on-year rate from May to June. No other measures—such as monthly changes, regional breakdowns, or reasons for the slowdown—are included in the excerpts provided.
Overall, the reporting aligns on the headline numbers: 5.6% annual growth in June and a reduction from 6.1% in the year to May 2026, marking the slowest annual pace since January 2024.
