Standing view · housing · North Ayrshire
mixed, held with tentative confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-06.
Homes sold in North Ayrshire fell in every reading published, from 330 in October 2025 to 238 in November and 256 in December. The average house price rose over the same period, from £137,172 in November 2025 to £132,452 in February 2026, £131,299 in March, £133,444 in April and £141,756 in June, every reading recorded as a rise against the usual pattern for its month. Falling transactions against a rising price is the divergence here.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about North Ayrshire. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
