Is a house worth less in June?
Sales completing in June come in at 97.5% of that year's own median; September at 102.4% — a 4.9-point spread, holding across 24 separate years. Each year is measured against itself first, so three decades of house-price inflation cannot masquerade as a seasonal effect.
| Month | Against that year's median | Years measured |
|---|---|---|
| January | 99.7% | 24 |
| February | 98.8% | 24 |
| March | 98.3% | 24 |
| April | 99.7% | 25 |
| May | 97.5% | 25 |
| June | 97.5% | 24 |
| July | 101.3% | 22 |
| August | 100.2% | 24 |

What would make this wrong: it measures the mix of what sold, not the same house at two dates. If larger properties tend to complete in summer, that alone produces this pattern — read it as "dearer homes change hands in September", not "list in September and get 4.9% more". The repeat-sales index does follow the same properties, and is the honest way to read the market.

What would make this wrong: nominal £1 transfers are excluded, and a year is counted by the date the sale was recorded — a sale agreed in December and recorded in January lands in the later year.
Dates are completion dates as recorded by the authorities, so the weekday pattern reflects how conveyancing is transacted here, not when people decide to move. Medians exclude nominal £1 transfers (29 of these rows).
