    I think that's ever so slightly brave looking at Halifax, depends what state everything is when the winter arrives I suppose, who knows!

    I did actually type out that maybe Halifax will slightly touch over the 30% mark, but then though that is wimping out of my prediction.

    I have been saying since the start of the year that prices have another 5-10% to fall before reaching the bottom, I still stand by this prediction.

    Who knows, I could be wrong, like all predictions - it's all guess work.

    Notice how StevieJ has deliberately avoided replying to this post but has been busy replying to just about every other topic on the front page. :D:D:D:D

    Would it have something to do with him not liking to have his predictions added in other peoples signature areas, only to be later proved wrong like he has a penchant for doing to other people, per chance? Oh wait...

    So before this thread disappears into the ether, I think StevieJ should post with his predictions for where the house prices will be in 6, 12, 18 and 24 months time with either what the average prices will be at those points and/or what the falls/increases from peak will be. And I will add them to my signature area, just in case he forgets :D. Over to you Stevie :D .

    Erm, it's only an analogy, the housing market isn't ACTUALLY a bubble dearest. So it doesn't make a very good basis to prove a point I'm afraid.
    D'ya think so? Oh dear. Either there's one born every minute, or as a VI you are hoping there is.

    It is most definitely a bubble. And a popping one at that.

    But hey - go and buy one or two, whatever turns you on.

    Good god you're a 'tard. How does pointing out your moronic statement either make a VI or signify that I want to go and "buy a couple"?

    Don't need to, check Devons footer, BTW I only use the real figures that the FT use icon7.gif

    When do you think things will turn around StevieJ? Or do you think they have already?

    You seem quite dismissive of other peoples' predictions but unwilling to make any of your own. Perhaps I miss you predictive posts as I don't read everything on here.

    PS I hope that doesn't sound aggressive - it's not meant to be. I'm interested as you seem to think it's going to be business as usual soon.

    I repeat check Devs footer, I can't understand this as I made my predictions a while ago -20% bottom in the spring 2009 FT index, I have not changed it, unlike many others icon7.gif
    Reasons - The upward trend in the market hit the buffers and was cut short before it hit the Zenith, the bottom would be reached when normal liquidity was restored to the market e.g. 90% mortgages at reasonable rates in relation to BR.

    Now I don't claim to be Nostradamus like some on here and I understand I could be way out, but that was my punt from a way into last year and I will stick with it.

    Oh BTW I do treat the 70% brigade with disdain, so there :p
