The real estate market suffered this year along with many other industries, leaving homeowners in two minds whether to sell or batten down the hatches for a long market slump. Experts predict, however, that the market is poised to recover next year despite the rising house prices, which have left first-time homeowners unable to qualify for mortgages.

The Telegraph reports a 1.3 per cent rise in house prices by the close of 2011, and the market may continue to stabilise depending on financial conditions. Although the number of property transactions is roughly half the number of pre-recession transactions, next year’s amount will depend largely on the Eurozone as mortgage lenders rely on money markets for funding.

There is expected to be new developments in economic zones that have remained strong in the crisis. Demand for houses and flats for rent is rising as loans are less attainable and employment less stable. A benefit of renting is the low initial cost, which frees capital for other pursuits, while home maintenance and repairs are the landlords’ remit. Rent or buy property by browsing new listings online and remember to keep tabs on the housing market in 2012.
