Almost nine out of ten of countries saw positive annual price growth in the third quarter, while Europe recorded a<\/strong>\u00a0rise of 5.6% to September.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to analysis from Knight Frank’s Global House Price Index looking at 56 countries across the world, the growth seen across Europe was up from 2.3% three years ago. Meanwhile, Greece <\/a>saw a 0.7% increase, raising its chances of finally reaching positive territory over the next quarter after nine years of shrinking prices.<\/p>\n

The UK<\/a> came 42nd in the rankings, with 2.6% house price growth in Q3, just a 1% change from the previous quarter.<\/p>\n

China<\/a> has slipped from 12th to 19th position in the rankings. Chinese property prices are now rising at their slowest rate for five quarters, up by 6.5% on an annual basis according to the National Bureau of Statistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
