Explained in plain English

Is my home worth less now?

Possibly, especially if you live in Greater London, which led the annual declines. The national average fall was 0.6 percent in October, but local markets vary. High mortgage rates and inflation are making buyers cautious everywhere, so it's worth checking local property trends to understand the specific impact on your home's value.
