gHello.

After the pandemic upended the housing market, we have the first sign that things are getting back to normal.

Buyer inquiries for properties in London jumped 24% this month from a year earlier – the strongest growth of any region. Asking prices also reached a record £667,001.

It’s a turnaround for the capital, which had underperformed the rest of the country during the pandemic, and suggests buyers are once again looking for homes in suburban areas when they return to the office.

Overall UK house prices rose 9.5% year-on-year to £348,808, the highest annual growth since 2014.

What happened overnight

Asian stock markets pared early losses on Monday as a glimmer of hope emerged for a diplomatic solution to the Russia-Ukraine standoff, though there remains a lot of devil in the details.

Wall St futures rallied on the news US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed in principle to hold a summit on the Ukraine crisis.

The one chance for a peaceful solution was enough for S&P 500 stock futures to reverse initial losses and trade 0.4% higher. Nasdaq futures edged up 0.2%, after falling more than 1% earlier.
