This makes it difficult for many people to be able to afford to buy their own houses. In England, average house prices are now almost 8 times the average worker's salary; in parts of the West Midlands, the high prices have been caused by demand growing faster than supply. Source: (Gillespie: 2019) Figure 7.1 below shows how market conditions have changed in the housing market. HOUSE PRICES P₂ P₁ S₁ $₂ ¡D₁ D₂ Q2 Q/ month Figure 7.1 market conditions and house prices Equilibrium has moved from P1Q1 to P2Q2. The most likely explanation for the changes shown is a a) Fall in mortgage interest rates and an increase in the number of houses built b) Fall in mortgage interest rates and a decrease in the number of houses built c) Rise in mortgage interest rates and an increase in the number of houses built d) Rises in mortgage interest rates and a decrease in the number of houses built.
