The June 2018 RICS Residential Market Survey results continue to point to a broadly stable picture, at least as far as the headline numbers are concerned. However, the generally subdued tone to the aggregated data is still masking materially divergent trends at a more localised level. Moreover, the New Instructions net balance has recorded positive numbers for two consecutive months; this is the first time that this has been case since the early part of 2016. The South West continues to show moderate gains and a stable transaction market.
