Looking at the real data, not Halifax “spin”
House prices 'see first double-digit fall'
House prices fell by almost 11% in the 12 months to July, Halifax said today - thought to be the first double-digit drop since the lender began publishing a monthly survey in the mid-1980s. The 10.9% drop revealed by comparing the seasonally adjusted average price in July 2007 with that in the same month this year is bigger than the 8.8% year-on-year fall quoted by the lender.
