Rightmove's June snapshot of asking prices shows a drop of 0.4%, with accompanying comment blaming an unhelpful mortgage market for failing to support a property recovery. There's also evidence of a very polarised market, driven by the equity rich, hunting well-located homes that are short in supply, at one end, properties requiring a lot of work at the other. There's evidence of some regional polarisation, too, with prices in the north west (England) rising by 4.5%.
