This is good news and hopefully will continue. House prices in the UK need to fall to allow first time buyers the chance to buy a home and homeowners will need less money to upsize to a bigger property. The only people who will lose out are the vested interests that caused this bubble.0

Great new for potential first time buyers. Keep saving and enjoy the falls as the housing bubble bursts.

Price falls in June are a sure sign that the market is teetering on the edge of a cliff.
20% down by February 2011 is my best guess.

"Martin Ellis, housing economist for the Halifax, said that the figures were not a great surprise.
"A shortage of properties for sale in 2009 contributed to an imbalance between supply and demand and was a key factor driving up house prices last year.
"An increase in the number of properties available for sale in recent months has helped to reduce the imbalance, relieving the upward pressure on prices."
