House prices continue increase through the early part of 2007
House prices rise during March 2007
The Halifax reported a rise of 1% in house prices during March. The average house price s now thought to be in the region of £194,000. Many industry experts now believe that the continuing boom is not only unsustainable but likely to represent a serious threat to the economy unless a correction occurs. It is expected that during the back end of 2007 and into 2008, house prices will fall although a "crash" is thought to be unlikely.
