Homes have earned more per hour than their owners in the last year across more than a third of the nation (34 per cent).

GetAgent analysed the annual change in house price growth across Britain and what this equates to as an average hourly rate for full-time employment. They then looked at how this compares to the actual average hourly rate for full-time employment in each respective area.

The research shows that across Britain, the average property has increased by £32,893 over the last year. With the average person working 1,903.2 hours per year, this increase equates to an average hourly rate of £17.28.

At the same time, the average Brit working full-time has earned £18.84 per hour, outearning their home by just £1.56 per hour.

However, on a regional level, homes have out-earned their owners in three regions on an hourly basis over the last year – the South West (+£7.20), the East of England (+£4.68) and the South East (+£3.99).

What’s more, when analysing the market at local authority level, GetAgent found that the annual rate of house price growth has equated to a higher rate of hourly pay across no less than 34 per cent of local authorities, when compared to the actual hourly rate of pay for the average full-time employee.

In South Hams, Devon, the average house price has increased by £79,290 in a year. This is the equivalent of earning £41.66 an hour, a stark £23.70 more than the local average hourly earnings of £17.96.

In Harborough, Leicestershire, homes have outperformed their owners by £18.43 per hour; in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales, it’s £16.05 per hour; in Islington, London, it’s £15.87 per hour; and in Mid Sussex, homes have earned £14.82 per hour more than the average person.

Co-founder and CEO of GetAgent.co.uk, Colby Short, commented: “House prices have boomed during the pandemic, so much so that bricks and mortar is earning more than the average hourly wage in over a third of Britain.
