今年6月，英國全國房價自2012年以來首次下跌

UK house prices fell in June for the first time since 2012 as the coronavirus pandemic took its toll, according to a survey released by Nationwide on Wednesday.

周三發(fā)布的一項全國調(diào)查顯示，由于冠狀病毒大流行的影響，英國6月份房價自2012年以來首次下跌。

On an yearly basis, house prices dipped 0.1% following a 1.8% increase in May and versus expectations of 1% growth.

5月份房價上漲1.8%，較上年同期下降0.1%，漲幅低于1%的預期。

On the month, prices were 1.4% lower, which was an improvement on the 1.7% drop seen in May but worse than the 0.7% decline expected.

5月份，房價下跌1.4%，較5月份1.7%的跌幅有所改善，但比預計的0.7%的跌幅更糟。

Nationwide’s chief economist Robert Gardner said: "It is unsurprising that annual house price growth has stalled, given the magnitude of the shock to the economy as a result of the pandemic. Economic output fell by an unprecedented 25% over the course of March and April - almost four times more than during the entire financial crisis.

國家首席經(jīng)濟學家羅伯特·加德納說:“考慮到流行病對經(jīng)濟的巨大沖擊，年度房價增長停滯不足為奇。經(jīng)濟產(chǎn)出在3月和4月史無前例地下降了25%——幾乎是整個金融危機期間的四倍。

"Housing market activity also slowed sharply as a result of lockdown measures implemented to control the spread of the virus. While latest data from HMRC showed a slight pickup in residential property transactions from April’s low, in May they were still 50% lower than the same month in 2019."

由于采取了封鎖措施以控制病毒的傳播，房地產(chǎn)市場活動也急劇放緩。英國稅務海關(guān)總署的最新數(shù)據(jù)顯示，住宅房地產(chǎn)交易量較4月份的低點略有回升，但5月份的交易量仍比2019年同期低50%。”

Gardner said that while housing market activity is likely to edge higher in the near term as lockdown measures are eased further, the medium-term outlook for the housing market "remains highly uncertain".

加德納表示，雖然隨著鎖定措施的進一步放松，房地產(chǎn)市場活動可能在短期內(nèi)小幅走高，但房地產(chǎn)市場的中期前景“仍然高度不確定”。

"Much will depend on the performance of the wider economy, which will in turn be determined by how the pandemic and restrictions on activity evolve," he said.

他說:“這在很大程度上將取決于更廣泛的經(jīng)濟表現(xiàn)，而經(jīng)濟表現(xiàn)反過來又將取決于疫情和對活動的限制如何演變。”
