PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

I think everyone has acknowledged that. The OP was just pointing out there is an increase in activity and it seems to be everywhere and not only at ftb level. Of course, all those offers could collapse, but the point made was that interest has perked up.0

There is still a lot of pressure being put on uneducated first time buyers to buy. even at the height of he last crash their were people who did not have a clue on whats going on..
people who rely on the uneducated buyer to fall for their con trick are a powerful body and spend millions of pounds a year to gloss over the truth ,,of course their are people who are buying now. i welcome that as without them we would not have the drops we have had or the further drops that are coming..
remember the head of all the banks has said he expects another 30% OFF AVERAGE house prices..
a swallow does not make a summer...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
