More spin on same press release
BBC: House prices: Rises may start to slow, surveyors say
"Further rises in house prices may be held back by more properties coming onto the market, surveyors have said.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) says new instructions outpaced enquires from new buyers in February.
It was the second month in a row that this had happened.
The rise in house prices during the past year has been attributed by many commentators to a shortage of stock for sale."

"may start to slow"
If there is ever a public enquiry into how the housing bubble was stoked, the BBC will be right up in the top five.

surely there's a more positive spin that someone like smugdog can put on this?
it's only 'may', so not certain, and only 'slow' so still rising, and only RICS, so may just be completely fabricated anyway?

The BBC recently announced various cut backs (2 radio stations + internet coverage etc...) - I wonder if it's property ramping division is affected?

Does this mean that all those retail second income jobs that were lost is now starting to have an effect? I think so. Suddenly that 'affordable' mortgage isn't so affordable.
