 So 'only' another 19% - taking total drops close to 30% from the peak last summer.
 Is this a 'peace offering' of bear food :rotfl:--
 Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0

 A spreadfair price just represents the average opinion of a mass of people. It doesn't imply any ability to predict the future. You'll find "dead cert" odds on Betfair for teams that go on to lose.justpurchased wrote: »http://www.findaproperty.com/displaystory.aspx?edid=00&salerent=0&storyid=22507

            Blimey, the forecast total drop seems to be going down around 2% a month - wonder why that is..? Is the spokespeep for real..? (MSE favourite of 20-30% looking reasonable so far).0

 Look at us, all debating properly. No, I am not going to do the joke. But let's all carry on debating. I haven't debated so much since the last thread that made me burst out laughing.justpurchased wrote: »You wanted it, will any bears please debate properley?

 Lethal argument, LO 
 Thanks I purchased at 27% below may 08 prices for our road (equiverlent house.)
 Looks like I made a good move on the market.
 Cutting out 2 years of waiting and paying off my motgage in the mean time.
 I have thought 30% form April so I put my money where my mouth is. (but I did not think I could get near it)
 Looks like we all agree on 30%.0

            I think 30% is a reasonable guess.Happy chappy0
