House Prices Tumbled In March

House prices fell in March by their biggest monthly drop since the the property crash of the 1990s. The value of an average property fell by almost £5,000 - 2.5%.

The report by the Halifax showed that March suffered the worst monthly fall in property prices since September 1992 when prices dropped by 3% in a single month. This means that the average house is now worth only 1.1% more than 12 months ago and house prices have dropped 1% in the first quarter of this year.

After allowing for inflation, the real price of an average home over the last 12 months has dropped by £4,909.
