It is actually quite nice to see the 3 main index's roughly the same now.
"Buy now because house prices only ever go UP, UP, UP."
We've had a 40% drop which brings us back to.......Q2 2006. Crazymad.
Maybe it's time to leave this tiny sectarian backwater and live in Albion.
My only hope is that I can also get a reasonable priced house.
Most other houses in the estate are priced at 15k more with the exception of 2 smaller semi's (mines is detached) priced at 10k more.
I wish I had sold in 2006 and rented but hey ho hum!
Very honest of you JF, it's a difficult time, but if you're trading up then you should be ok.
Funny thing is, when I first started reading this forum (a couple of years now I think, didn't sign up until later), anyone who even dared mention prices might drop was shot down in the flames.
depends where you are in the UK - sorry I saw that you went for the Headline to highlight the attention on your article. my apologies.
There are lots of them at it I think. There is a property near me that went on the market maybe 6 months ago for £450k, now been heavilly reduced to £360k - but guess what, they paid £250k for it in 2006 - someone is haveing a laugh.
I guess it makes it essential that buyers use tools like Property Bee and the Land Registry figures to compare advertised prices against the current view (e.g. 2004 prices)
