Year of the dog

Chinese zodiac signs and the average house price growth in their years

The Chinese New Year officially begins on Friday 16^th February, bringing in the year of the dog. The Chinese zodiac animals rotate every 12 years and we have taken a look at the average house price growth for each of the years represented by each animal since 1972.

As you can see the most lucrative is the year of the dragon, which has seen average house price growth of 14.1% closely followed by the year of the horse 15%. In this coming year, the year of the dog, it has seen steady growth averaging 6.6% per year, on this basis 2018 looks set to be stronger than last year.

All a bit of fun and Happy Chinese New Year.
