falling, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-06.
Homes sold in Clackmannanshire fell in each of the four months published, from 63 in January 2026 to 62 in February, 59 in March and 55 in April. The average house price fell from £164,553 in January to £163,300 in February and £161,065 in March, then rose to £165,884 in June. Four consecutive falls in transactions is a consistent movement, while the price fell for three months and recovered in the fourth, so sales volumes are the steadier signal in these figures.
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 Clackmannanshire. 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.
