Keywords Housing market, RICS
The RICS March economic brief advises us that the previously reported gloom is beginning to lift, and that the steady reduction in interest rates has led to an increase in confidence in the housing market. There is a less rosy picture in the construction sector, with annual growth turning negative at the end of 1998 and with new orders falling to the lowest level in nearly two years.
