英国皇家特许测量师学会英国住宅市场调查的房价平衡从4月的-7降至2024年5月的-17，为1月以来的最低水平。在3月和4月基本保持稳定后，最新数据显示，本月房价略有下跌。也就是说，尽管在最近的调查期间，英格兰几乎所有地区的价格都回落到了一定程度，但苏格兰和北爱尔兰的情况仍然截然不同，这两种情况下的价格都保持在上升轨道上。展望未来，三个月的前景为-12%，这表明房价可能会面临进一步的下行压力。与此同时，12个月的前景进一步改善至+41%，这是自2022年4月以来的最高值，因为贡献者仍然坚信房价将在未来一年走高。

The RICS UK Residential Market Survey house price balance, which measures the gap between the percentage of respondents seeing rises and falls in house prices, fell to -17 in May 2024 from -7 in April, the lowest since January. Having held broadly steady in both March and April, the latest reading suggests that house prices fell slightly during the month. That said, while prices pulled back to a certain degree in virtually all regions of England during the latest survey period, Scotland and Northern Ireland continue to see a very different picture, with prices remaining on an upward trajectory in both cases. Looking ahead, the three-month outlook came in at -12%, suggesting further downside pressure could be seen for house prices. Meanwhile, the twelve-month outlook improved further to +41%, the most elevated reading since April 2022, as contributors remain firmly of the view that house prices will move higher in the coming year.
