<p>Housebuilder Barratt Developments has said its selling prices rose in the final half of 2010 but activity was hampered during a difficult December.</p>
<p>Barratt grew its half-year average selling prices by around 6% to £176,000 as it benefited from a change in the mix of sales towards houses, although growth eased from the 9% reported in November.</p>
<p>Last month&#8217;s Arctic conditions held back completions as buyers were unable to visit sites, while it said some build projects could not be finished.</p>
<p>However, underlying prices remained stable in the second half of 2010 in cheerier news after lender Halifax said prices dropped 1.3% during December, taking the 2010 decline to 3.4%.</p>
<p>Barratt, which is the UK&#8217;s largest housebuilder by volume, said 2011 was likely to see sales volumes remain under pressure as the availability of mortgage finance continued to drag on activity.</p>
<p>It added: &#8220;We expect changes in mix to continue to drive increases in average selling prices, but at a slower rate during the second half of full year 2010/11, reflecting the strong performance in the prior year equivalent period.&#8221;</p>
