falling, held with strong confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-06.
Homes sold in East Renfrewshire fell in every reading published, from 136 in December 2025 to 120 in January 2026 and 91 in February. The average house price fell from £291,781 in January 2026 to £290,537 in February, £286,906 in March and £285,047 in April, then rose to £295,309 in June. Three consecutive falls in transactions is the more consistent movement; the price fell for three months and recovered sharply in the most recent reading.
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 East Renfrewshire. 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.
