Global Property Guide: The end of the global house price boom
Only 13 countries in which dwelling price indices are regularly published saw prices rise during the year to end Q1 2008, while 21 countries saw dwelling prices fall in real terms, i.e., after adjusting for inflation. The biggest house price fall was in Latvia (Riga), down -38.2% by May 2008 from a year earlier. The cause of the downturn is blamed on the boom, inflation and bad regulation of banks.

What a load of tosh! - It shows Spain as less than -1% YoY and we know that this is really much much worse than this. Says it all really - trying to paint a least bad picture - more like silk purse and sow's ear to me.

Interesting stats - if they can fall by 38% in Riga in one year, why can't the same happen here?
