Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

HOME buying should increase by more than 20 per cent in the second half of this year, and the oversupply of housing that has held back price increases will have almost disappeared by mid-1993, say the City analysts UBS Phillips & Drew. Prices will fall by 5 per cent in 1992 but be rising by 6 per cent by the end of next year in response to stronger buying. 'For the medium term we expect a return to a healthy market, with house prices rising at least in line with earnings,' says a report for investors in building societies.

Wimpey points out that sales in Glasgow have jumped 50 per cent. 'During late 1992 and early 1993 prices will begin to rise again,' says sales manager, Ian Brown.
