    As i'm now selling my house and plan to step back on the property ladder in approx. 18 months , hopefully about 20% less than todays prices

    I'd love to ask Sarah Beeny as she knows everything and is never wrong (Does anybody have her number ?):j

  • 20-30% down for me. Possibly bottomed out or slight gains.

    Cheers what's the number for. 0898 naughty naughty.:rotfl:
    Got you, the quote was not there earlier.
  • 30 -40% down, IMO.

    the month on month falls will, I suspect, remain with us for 18 months +, with the occasional zero movement.

    VI's will then (mistakenly) assert that the bottom has been reached.

    I voted 20-30, from now which would 30-40 from peak, I cant see it being lower than this.
  • I reckon falls will run to about 15-20% PA (this allows for some slowing from the current monthly pace). So about 30%, perhaps a little more, on top of the 10-15% we have already had. That would be an average 1.6% fall per month. Not far-fetched at all really.

    That would bring prices closer to normal salary multiples. I am not particularly worried about inflation, which I do expect to see fall later this year.

    Out of interest, the average currently (after 28 votes) is a drop of 25%. That's taking each of the bands at its mid-point and taking a weighted average.
