    It would be interesting to know the sort of property these are buying. Also, how many are remortgages, replacing deals that have ended and the people are on high STRs.

    STOP IT, STOP IT, MY SIDES ARE HURTING WITH LAUGHTER.
    Yes approvals are up, but they are up only 3%mom after being down 66% when compared with Sept 07. Just a minor mom fluctuation. Nothing to see here - move on. Just media bull.

    good one steve, I think this thread is going to be 'who can come up with the most witty anecdote', you're winning so far:D

    more likely to help the Crash to gain momentum, as more approvals will mean greater statistical accuracy, and hopefully no more bleating from VIs about "too few completions for meaningful prices"...

    how much are mortgage approvals down compared to Sept '06

    that would be interesting as comparing with Sept '07 isn't really comparing it with anything sensible

    anyone know?

    This is probably the people who have saved large deposits buying houses with a nice little discount....I don't think the HPC is over just yet

    Or these are the people who are actually listening to EA and believing that we're already at the bottom. Thinking their getting a good deal
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right
