Why are we suddenly not focusing on the longer term trends?
Why do we have to miss out januarys drop of near £5,000?
It is silly to try and focus on February onwards, the biggest time for house sales and call it the recovery point. Just caught up on a few threads today and all I can see is February everywhere.
I miss the mention of Merthr Tydvil and it's corresponding LR graph on every thread. It seems to have been dumped for "february" as the new buzz thing.
it was in reply to Ad9898 saying that he hadn't seen house prices rising in his area comparing Rightmove.
it's a fact Graham. just get over it, you can't re-write history but you definetly fail to grasp the simplest of examples...0 -
Spring time, record low interest rates, government attempting to postpone reposession and very low numbers of properties on the Market. This is as good as it will EVER get for property. The game is currently rigged. Rising unemployment, rising interest rates, pent up supply due to the "rent it out instead brigade", rising repossession rates, wage deflation, rising food prices. It is hard to believe that we won't see further signficant falls.
Awwwww, look, all the HPC bears are coming over to the censorship free zone for a picnic.
How nice.
But you're right about one thing. This IS as good as it will ever get for property...........buyers.;)“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Jock mcSporran, are you suffering from New build syndrome too? :rotfl:
Oh heavens no, I wouldn't touch a new build with your wad, let along mine.....:rotfl:
I'm living very comfortably in a rather nice, 100 year old, solid, granite built house in a lovely part of Aberdeen. Now worth around 6% less than peak, and roughly what I paid for it. Plus I've saved a fortune by not wasting over 30K in rent between then and now. :T

No, nor do I.
And even though I own another house which I have rented out since 1988, I still want prices to fall."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -

I'd get out of Aberdeen before the North Seal oil runs out in the next 15 or so years - can't imagine what that will do to house prices up there.0
