- My thinking was, if a property is (cost of land + cost of the structure), and the structure costs about $300k to built (for an average house), then a brand new house should be (price of land + $300k + profit for the builder/owner).f I use your numbers, over the last 100 years, the cost of land has increased by about 1300 times (Hamptons-much more), and the cost of a house has gone up about 150 times, i.e. land - 7% increase per year (over 100 years), house-about 4.5% per year (over 100 years).

UK house price forecast: Itâs not looking good Despite those increasing earnings, the forecast is still for declining house prices over the next few years as the PE ratio reverts back to average levels. However, the average house price is not forecast to fall all the way to its current fair value of around £160,000 because earnings, and therefore fair value, are forecast to rise each year. So by 2020 the average house price is forecast to have fallen almost back to fair value, but by that stage fair value is forecast to have risen to almost £185,000 thanks to inflation and real earnings growth. As a result the risk of a dramatic house price crash is somewhat reduced, but the outlook is still not good.
