where do you think house prices will be in 10 years?

As it says ..... looking into your own crystal ball, will house prices still be such a hot topic and where will they be in 2019?

    House prices won't be an issue as all will be seized by the State and allocated according to a strict priority. This priority being -

    1) 'seekers'
    2) Muslims
    3) Member of any ethnic group (non-white)
    4) Single white women with illegitimate children
    5) Single white women
    6) White couples

    Single white men will be expected to live in a local hedge.

    I think by then, if we are lucky we will be back to 2005 prices, as I have said many times, in real inflation adjusted terms, 2007 ain't ever coming back.

    by 2019 house prices will be regulated by a moronic quango set up by the next labour government. quangos will govern every aspect of our lives. house prices will only change once a year in line with the quango's recommendations.
