Nationwide house price index March 2011[electronic resource]

By: Language: English Series: Nationwide House Price Index ; March 2011Publication details: 2011Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: United Kingdom house prices increased by 0.5% in March 2011. While demand is likely to remain fairly soft, a rapid increase in the supply of properties also appears unlikely. Low interest rates and a stabilisation in labour market conditions have prevented a rise in forced selling, and the subdued market outlook is deterring many sellers from entering the market. With the economic recovery expected to remain sluggish, the most likely outcome is that the property market will follow suit, with low transaction levels and prices moving sideways or modestly lower through 2011.
