In this show last night, all the experts were saying one thing and the two presenters were saying another.
One expert said that we should prepare for falls of up to 50%, I had to rewind the sky+ box to check this.

Kirstie then said not to worry as all the falls have been overblown in the media and no where had lost more than 8%, indeed many were better and some were in positive territory.
Then Phil while making an offer on houses, said that he knew personally, the market in that area has gone down at least 10% since JUNE ..."at least" he added.
Mmmm shurley not Phil?

and they said nothing about Northern Ireland.

I though his comments to EA about the 10% drop since June were a little strange. If I were the EA at the other end of the phone I think I would be surprised to say the least.

Curious as to why you think his comments were strange?

Impressed with the restrained, collected rationale demonstrated...

We'd have knackered up their nice stats.
We have no public record of sale prices so their researcher wouldn't have any figures to [strike]massage[/strike] work with.

I thought it was reasonably bearish overall. In fact, this may mark a turn in public sentiment. Lots of people watch this program and those who are holding out hoping that the prices will come back soon will have to face the fact that even K and P say it's game over.

It was a bit more bearish than I expected.
But something is a bit wrong. Yesterday morning on Radio 1, K&P said they thought prices would be back to normal in two years. Thats "normal" ie where they were last year.
No mention of this last night. Is this because on the radio they could say what they wanted, on tv they were being leant on a bit to tow the line?
The only thing I heard them predict about the future, was to say that they couldn't find any expert that would say that prices wouldn't recover. I mean even my kid sister knows that right? Its just how long it takes.
If it takes 10 years, then renting out your house to try and wait until the prices are back to normal, yet you will need that money before then, is hardly a good way to go.

The Teignmouth bungalow is still for sale at £179,950 even though Phil said the owner had decided to rent it out.
