Some people will not accept the facts that these 6 properies have sold within 4 weeks, they will say oh they will fall through and say other things , i think a lot of it is jealousy.

No, they haven't "sold".

And no it isn't "jealousy" :rolleyes: .

It is "realism": it SOUNDS good, but I think that you have to be cautious. There is a lot of instability in the property market and a h*ll of a lot of people messing around (buyers, sellers, developers).

I said that before they havent sold, but people are obviously prepared to buy otherwise why would they make offers???

If its not jealousy what is it?? these people make loads of post's about house prices crashing and no one buying, and has soon as there is a sign on people coming back and buying they make post's trying to dismiss the hard facts.

They are soon posting links to things abiut the market crashing, what else could it be other than they are jealous of people who are in a position to buy or they are just bitter.

Logical in what way?

Not everyone is losing their jobs,or getting repo'd or have massive debt,people still need and want to buy houses for whatever their circumstances.
Just some on here rubbish any thought of it.

It doesn't need everyone to lose their jobs or have their house repo'd to make house prices fall

I'm not that smart but even I can figure out if a certain amount of houses get repo'd or enough people lose their jobs which makes buisnesses fail then the banks can't lend money out because they are not getting enough in

Whether those buyers are capable of fulfilling the offers is a very different matter, plus there are/will be people making seemingly "acceptable" offers with the intention of gazundering. Some of those will still go through, but many wont.

Looking around the market here, there are quite a few properties going "SSTC", then reappearing back "Available" within 4/8 weeks - it is surprisingly common

Some people are just not being realistic (or doing enough research) when they make an offer, sadly . The "mortgage" forum here makes interesting reading.

I am not saying that the 6 SSTC houses in your village will not go through to completion, but - even when it seems that things should be straightforward - don't count your chickens...

I think that we, personally, were guilty of "counting our chickens" when our house was SSTC (FTBs with good depsosit and mortgage arranged), but they still gazundered and it fell through. No obvious reason, they just got cold feet and bam! (at least I am choosing to believe that and not that it was their intention to gazunder all along...).

The property market is just a very "funny animal" at the moment: the only thing that you can be certain or, at the moment, is that nothing is certain!

Personally, I would welcome some more movement: no movement in the property market gets in the way of people's lives...
