British house prices rise
British house prices have rose for a fifth month running in September, pushing property values back up to levels last seen a year ago.
Home prices rose in April for the first time in seven months as government tax incentives helped to bolster the housing market, according to the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday, which posted an 0.8 percent gain after falling in each of the past six months.
