What does this mean though? Are homes getting cheaper? Or is it that the homes which are being bought are on average cheaper ones? Or are people putting down bigger deposits? Or are...etc?
By the way SHOCK HORROR the BBC actually headlined a story about house prices increasing as "House price inflation hits 8.5% in England and Wales" today. Obviously the editor was asleep and let that slip through without revising it to "Housing Market Recovers" as usual.
B, buggered if I know.
AC, hmm. The BBC is usually very Home-Owner-Ist.
