Kate Faulkner comments on Report Headlines:
“The economic experts who understand property markets have now all said they don’t believe a housing bubble will ensue – showing the important of ‘who to listen to’ when it comes to property market data. In the main, yes, house prices have moved forward and we are seeing this month some of the highest prices we’ve seen for a while, but the increments are so tiny it’s almost impossible to measure them! Even Acadametrics who are the most upbeat about the market of all the surveys say prices in real terms (taking inflation into account) have fallen year on year.”
