House Prices: Would you
Poll started 06 May 2008. House Prices: Would you prefer them to rise or fall? For the first time in many years it's been reported there’s an annual fall in house prices (by 1%). For most things, falling prices benefit consumers. In house prices they help first time buyers and upgraders, but are worrying for those with little equity in their homes or those planning to sell. What’s your instinct? Which of these would you prefer?
