falling, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-06.
Homes sold in Aberdeen City fell from 404 in November 2025 to 363 in December. The average house price drifted down over the same months without a clear run: £135,757 in November 2025, £132,357 in December, £132,364 in January 2026, £133,141 in March, £131,320 in April and £131,855 in June. Prices have moved within a narrow band while sales volumes fell, so the clearer signal is in the number of transactions rather than in what they cost. Only two readings of sales are published here, which is few on which to judge a trend.
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 Aberdeen City. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.

These figures carry no defensible direction of their own: a rising house price is good news to an owner and bad news to someone trying to buy, so we do not score one as an improvement. They are shown because they are part of the picture, and they did not decide the view above.
