Well they are moving more than you realise!
According to the Halifax, house prices have fallen 18% from the August 2007 peak.
The average house price falling from £199,600 in 2007 to around £163,800 in April 2012.
Whilst this is far from good news, the real fall in property prices is being masked by the decline in value of the pound as it is far weaker now than it was in 2007.
If the average house is priced in Euros it has fallen 31%, in US dollars the fall is 34%. In Japanese Yen, the fall in prices is a massive 54%.
The British people are systematically being robbed by government fiscal policy designed to evaporate the national debt through high inflation,
quantitative easing (QE) and the devaluation of our currency.
