Green shoots in the housing market? Don’t bet on it, says Nick Hopkinson of Property Portfolio Rescue. “The blazing headline statistics from Halifax indicate that the property market is booming at first glance,” he says, of figures showing prices rose 2.6% last month. “While this may be great PR for the now mainly public-owned bank, unfortunately this is not correct. House sales volumes remain at an all-time low, making trend analysis of monthly data from just one lender statistically meaningless.” Doesn’t sound like househunters have missed the boat just yet.2009-06-05T07:22:26ZSpeaker does not deserve to be granted seat in Lords, say peers
