Asking prices for properties on the market have continued their downward trajectory for the fourth successive month.

Property search engine Home, which has data on virtually every single property for sale in England and Wales, said that last month prices were down 0.3%, and prices were cut on 65,692 homes.

Typical time on the market remained at 148 days.

The number of properties new to the market in January was 14% higher than in January 2010.

According to Home’s calculations, fewer than 4,000 properties are changing hands each day, compared with over 10,000 in August 2007.

    You might find it is reference to the fact that the same story was dished up on the 11th feb.

    This is a story designed to feed the trolls from hpc.com

    Might be an idea for Rosalind to crack down on her bloggers. This blog would suggest that there are a number of Agents out there who have nothing better to do than copy lyrics. On the subject of spring, going by the age of the songs it would suggest that they ain't all spring chickens either and have probably lost any bounce they may have had in any case.

    Boo-hoo,
    you've got me crying for you
    and as I sit here and sigh,
    says I, "I can't believe it's true."

    Boo-hoo,
    I'll tell my mama on you.
    The little game that you played
    has made her baby oh so blue.

    You left me standing all alone
    you left me waiting for a home

    Boo-hoo,
    that's why I'm crying for you.
    Someday you'll feel like I do
    and you'll be boo-hoo-hooin' too.

    You were wrong, you were wrong
    You were wrong, yeah, you were wrong
    You were wrong, baby, stayin' away too long
    You know it ain't right, it ain't right,
    It ain't right, it ain't right
    It ain't right, stayin' out all night
    I try and I try with all my might, to do the thing that's right
    No matter how good I treat you baby, you only wanna fuss and fight
    You were wrong, you were wrong
    You were wrong, yeah, you were wrong
    You were wrong, baby, stayin' away too long
    You know it ain't right, it ain't right
    I ask myself, and I ask myself, and ask myself again,
    How can you do the things that right, when you keep on livin' in sin?
    You were wrong, you were wrong
    You were wrong, yeah, you were wrong
    You were wrong, baby, stayin' away too long
    You know it ain't right, it ain't right

    Deep down everybody knows that asking prices are way too high, that's why transaction volumes are so low. I suspect that rising interest rates (or the threat of) will be the catalyst that kick starts the next downward leg. There'll be no spring bounce, prices will fall below the 2009 bottom and then who knows?................If rates and unemployment keep rising things could get exciting. At least FTB's wont be moaning in a couple of years time.

    They say we're young and we don't know
    We won't find out until we grow
    Well I don't know if all that's true
    'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

    Babe I got you babe
    I got you babe

    They say our love won't pay the rent
    Before it's earned, our money's all been spent

    I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
    But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

    Babe
    I got you babe
    I got you babe

    I got flowers in the spring
    I got you to wear my ring
    And when I'm sad, you're a clown
    And if I get scared, you're always around

    Don't let them say your hair's too long
    'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
    Then put your little hand in mine
    There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

    Babe
    I got you babe
    I got you babe

    I got you to hold my hand
    I got you to understand
    I got you to walk with me
    I got you to talk with me
    I got you to kiss goodnight
    I got you to hold me tight
    I got you, I won't let go
    I got you to love me so

    I got you babe
    I got you babe
    I got you babe
    I got you babe
    I got you babe
