falling, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-06.
Homes sold in Glasgow City fell in every reading published, from 998 in November 2025 to 862 in December, 821 in January 2026 and 682 in February. The average house price fell from £190,964 in December 2025 to £184,604 in February 2026, then recovered to £190,597 in May and £193,671 in June. Four consecutive falls in transactions is the more consistent movement; the price fell and then more than recovered over the same period.
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 Glasgow 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.
