It was more doom and gloom from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors this week with news that house prices had continued to fall. The number of surveyors reports a decrease in prices was 76%, up from 74% in the previous month. However, the same surveyors also noted that the numbers of buyers had increase by 16%. I first read this story with a feeling of trepidation as this inevitably means more bad news for the property market, but it later made me think that if things were that bad no-one would be buying at all! 

January in particular has been reported to be a very positive month for property, especially in London of all places. This increased buying could actually stimulate the market and generate a recovery. I read an article here that supported this and even showed that First Time Buyers actually increased in the beginning of 2009. If the property was actually in such a state, then the first time buyers would definitely be the ones who would not be in the mood to buy property. However, seen as this cannot get any lower and we have maybe reached the bottom of this recession, the road to recovery is definitely on the horizon and this might be encouraging people to take advantage of the current market. 

This isn't the sign that we are definitely on the road to recovery as we need to make finance easier to obtain. This does mean that some things could be made easier for some people and the thought of selling your house doesn't have to be locked to current state of the market.
