House prices are continuing to decline, due to a sizeable oversupply that has built up in the residential market, FNB said on Monday.
Its latest house price index continued to decline in May to -11,3% year-on-year, it said in a statement.
This represented a deterioration on the revised -9,2% rate of year-on-year decline recorded for April.
It was also the sixth consecutive month of year-on-year decline in the house price index, FNB said.
On a month-on-month basis, the rate of deflation was minus three percent in May.
The deflation was a result of oversupply, with selling due to financial pressure being a key driver of supply, FNB added.
