The median home price in London increased to $588,000 in February. This represented a 38.4% rise when compared to February 2020. South London continued it’s rapid rise with the median home price up 41.7% over the same period in 2020. I speculate that the contribution of higher value, newly constructed homes are skewing the median price increase in this area. North London followed closely behind at 35.3%. East London rose 26.0% when compared to February 2020. Generally, high demand and low housing inventory are the major drivers behind increases in the median home price.
