Highest new Property Supply for 18 Months as Previously Snow-Bound Sellers Return - Rightmove House Price Index March 2010

LONDON, March 15, 2010 - The UK housing market saw a virtual price standstill in March
as new sellers asked an average of just GBP216 (0.1%) more than last month.
Between 2002 and 2009 the average monthly increase in March was 1.3%; in
contrast this March's rise of just 0.1% is the lowest Rightmove has ever
recorded at this time of year. Unsurprisingly, it coincides with a return of
sellers, with 34% more properties coming to market compared to March 2009,
meaning more competition and less opportunity to increase asking prices.
