Does the FTSE reflect the house market

The FTSE and other indices had a good day today, when the FTSE recovers its fill vigour do you think it may signal a bottom in the house market?

The FTSE is going through turbulent times. One good day doesn't make for the end of economic worries. It's one good day.
It'll be up and down like a tart's drawers for ages yet.
House price crash is still on schedule.0 -

Nice reply but didn't relate to the question 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

That was related to the Emperor being found to have no clothes on (tech stocks) this bear market is caused by a credit squeeze and recession with much more correlation to house prices.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

Doesn't the FTSE indicate what may happen in around 2 years time ?, I wasn't really aware it had much to do with the housing market, other than perhaps when the FTSE is on the up, people may pull their investments from housing and put them into stocks, however in this market I doubt many will be able to do that even if they wanted to.0

It looks to me that the housing market is already in deflation mode before the main economy.
What I mean is that it seems that house buyers are now holding back from buying as they expect prices to fall further. The market will only pick up when prospective buyers believe that prices won't go any lower and they become scared that they will miss out on a bargain.0 -

(Speaking for the masses) ''Ok better run and get a 10x salary, 125% mortgage....oh hang on a minute the banks will not lend me anything.''
Crash continues for long foreseeable future...0 -

I think the first signs of inflation will be in stocks and oil.--
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
