though even they have been careful by saying.But the group added that the housing market remained "on a knife edge", with credit conditions likely to remain tough for some time to come.
So in other words they could be totally wrong.
The property market will take time to unwind and for confidence in making a decision to return.0 -
The green shoots of recovery will wither

The "rate of recession" is likely to ease, agreed the National Institute for Economic and Social Research, which expects a 1.5% slide in GDP in the first quarter compared with 1.6% in the fourth. GDP has already shrunk by 4.5% in this downturn, it estimates. The rate has so far followed the trajectory of the 1979-1983 recession (see chart). Note too that, as Roger Bootle pointed out, consumer spending, which accounts for the lion's share of the economy, has only just started to turn down. The ongoing slide in house prices, consumers' whopping debt loads and low savings rates means that consumer retrenchment could have a long way to run. As Capital Economics said, "we are still closer to the start of this recession than the end". "
Yup wait 5 years before buying back into property. What will be the average house price then in 2014?0 -
