The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors found that 68% of surveyors recorded reducing prices here in recent months.
The body's housing spokesman Tom McClelland said the current low level of prices was last seen more than a decade ago, well before the recession hit.
The average price reduction since the 2007 peak is between 50% and 60%.
