House prices have been on the rise for quite some time now as the property market has proven to be busier than ever. But after 18 months of soaring prices and tough competition, there are finally signs of things calming down.

The online property portal expects that affordability constraints, a better balance between supply and demand and usual seasonal price drops will contribute to house prices falling in the coming months - and it looks like this is already proving to be the case in Greater Manchester.
