    But money is not my God and I am very happy to live in my nice cosy home.


    Not having a dig, and this is aimed at all those home owners. If you are happy with your house etc and not overstretched yourself, how come you are on a forum called house prices? I can understand if you want to sell etc, but if your happy where you are and have no plans to sell then whats the point? :confused:

    Just wondered really!

    Sometimes I'm really tempted to become a bear, if only to raise my 'thank' count.

    Never go to dinner parties not my thing, just fed up with comments about house prices I think we need to get back to a house becoming a home ,and if that means house prices need to come down so that they become more affordable surely that is a good thing .My worry is that once this happens house prices will then go back up and the cycle starts all over again .

    I have seen it all before was there in the last recession and yes I lost a lot of money at the time when selling a house but I survived and am still a home owner .
    The headlines then were much as they are now all doom and gloom every tv program from Kilroy to News night was about over stretched people and negative equity but it came right again ,but here we are again back at square one because people see a house as an investment we need 2 bathrooms and conservatories and 4 bedrooms ,hot tubs in the garden and fancy cars on the drive not forgetting that everyone needs a double garage for all of our belongings that are purchased by releasing the equity in our houses perhaps we should start to see property as homes again .
