Shows that annual asking price inflation has dropped by 2%, which is the sharpest fall for 18 months. 143 000 newly marketed properties have increased in price by just 0.9%, by far the lowest February figure for the last five years. Estate agents continue to report good levels of sales activity, and data shows average property for sale per estate agency branch at a three year low for this time of year. This, in conjunction with a speeding up of stock turnover since the New Year, has led to a fall in time on the market, from 88 to 78 days.
