UK house prices increased by 0.3% in August, though the annual pace of house price growth edged down to 3.2% from 3.5% in July. Analysts were predicting 0.4% increase. The annual rate of price growth was the weakest since June 2013; this partly reflects the high base for comparison, since prices increased at a particularly strong rate in August 2014.

This month’s data provides further evidence that annual house price growth may be stabilising close to the pace of earnings growth, which has historically been around 4%. However, survey evidence cautions that this trend may not be maintained unless construction activity accelerates. Surveyors reported the lowest ever number of properties on their books in July (on data extending back to the late 1970s – see chart below) whilst new buyer enquiries picked up.

Sterling is currently being traded few points above 1.5480 level. Pair is likely to find support around 1.5430 area and resistance above 1.5550 level. Later today, in the US session, Unemployment Claims and Prelim GDP figures are scheduled for a release.
