Numbers of unsold properties on estate agents' books are apparently at their highest level since Rightmove records begin... back in the Web1.0, Elvis in the charts (not kidding) days of 2002; and yet asking prices have risen by 0.8% in March. Rightmove estimates that prices have fallen 10% from their 2007 peak, and recommends vendors mix themselves a reality Martini, and chuck in a couple of green olives. (Just make sure you don't get those ones with anchovies in them by mistake... done that, not nice... )
