Prices in London rose by 0.4% and by 0.3% in the South West in November. All other regions saw increases of 0.1% or no change.
Richard Donnell, Hometrack's director of research, said: "The pick up in market activity over 2009 has been driven by rising demand yet the latest survey shows that new buyer registrations grew by just 0.1% in November, the lowest level since the start of the year.
"A decline in demand is inevitable in the run-up to Christmas but there are signs that the upward pressure on prices is likely to decline in the months ahead."
