Friday Bear Nibbles
Realistic prices lead to increase in sales
There was a marked bounce back in the housing market in June, after a grim May. It was thanks in part to agents suggesting realistic prices to keep turnover ticking over, claims a new report. The latest analysis from Hometrack says the volume of sales agreed rose in June by 10.6 per cent - the highest monthly increase since March (12.6 per cent).

However, sales volumes are only half the story and pricing levels remain under downward pressure.. "
