It's official - US house prices are now falling
MoneyWeek: Will the US housing market achieve a soft landing?
The price of existing homes - which account for about 85% of the housing market - in the US fell year-on-year for the first time in 11 years last month. The median price of a previously-owned house fell 1.7% on last August, down to $225,000 (about £118,000), said the National Association of Realtors.
There was some good news however - sales fell just 0.5% in the month, much less than analysts had expected. So what are the chances that the US will see a UK-style housing bounce?
