Property prices have fallen a colossal 4.2% in only the last 4 months and the housing market activity still remains extremely low.Poor underlying economic conditions coupled with high unemployment are going to lead to an extremely volatile housing market. Although mortgage approvals are up mortgage activity is still well down on anything experienced in past recessions. On a positive note maybe we are over the worst.

A recent survey by unbiased.co.uk uncovered what the British public is thinking about house prices at the moment:

?58% of those surveyed said they did not expect recovery in house prices this year, and a third of this group (18% of the overall population) saw no prospect of an upturn until at least 2011.

?The research found that 28% of people in Britain were interested in buying a property. However, a quarter of these prospective buyers (7% of the adult population or more than 3m people) were holding off looking at properties until prices had fallen even further.

The general opinion is that there will be further drop in house prices, which is making first time buyers hesitate. Those who are entering the housing market are looking at negotiating at least 15% reduction on the asking price.
