Demand is drying up

Telegraph online: Third of mortgage applications denied

Almost one in three mortgage applicants have been rejected by lenders in the past six months as the credit crunch takes its toll on home buyers.

Houso prices to follow. There goes demand and there's no shortage of supply.

The drying up of mortgage offers was identified on this website about a month ago. It's interesting that some statistics have now been published and the Telegraph (along with most of the media) have found it worthy of comment.
