falling, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-06.
Homes sold in Stirling fell in every reading published, from 189 in October 2025 to 186 in December and 130 in January 2026. The average house price rose in every reading, from £233,507 in July 2025 to £225,736 in December, £234,795 in May 2026 and £239,005 in June, each 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 Stirling. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
