What's Hamish's excuse for posting this nonsense?
McTwatish paid over the odds for a house at the peak.
In Aberdeen !!!!!!
He now NEEDS prices to rise to save his skin and in his desperation will come up with all sorts of reasons why prices will not fall. He has to beleive that HPI will come to his rescue.
Plausible as some of his posts sound, he is best ignored.
Other than to slag him off, of course."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -

He has a shedload of negative equity. So, I reckon HPI is missing from his life.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And I see you don't confine your trolling to hpc either.:D
I'm very comfortable with my levels of equity. In both my houses.
But the more mindless attacks you post, the more people see how untenable your positions are, so do keep up the good work.:rotfl:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Look, the simple answer to 'house prices up or down argument' is simple, put your money where you mouth is........ I am. I'm choosing not to buy for another 2-3 years or when I feel prices have bottomed.
Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, if you feel we are at the bottom then surely it is time for you 'canny investors' to snap up some 'bargains'. If you're not willing to put you're own money against your beliefs, then you don't truely believe them yourself, you're just hoping that the house you bought at peak doesn't lose too much, otherwise.............
Surely it's the time to MEW and buy another, isn't it ? The bottom line is you bought at or near peak and are desperate for that house to not lose money, you pick at the slightest bit of optimism in any article to re-assure you, like the one in the OP.
So to sum up, don't waste your time on here trying to convert 'us bears', go out and buy those 'bargain houses' that we are too stupid to buy.:D0 -

That's the problem ad.
People like McTwatish don't have money, they have equity.
Without HPI they have nothing.
It's sad and funny in equal measure."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -

Then why keep trying to convince everyone else, if I thought I'd bought a house and made the right decision, I wouldn't give a toss what others thought on a forum, in fact I wouldn't even be here discussing the issues. Despite what you might protest..... you are a worried man, the evidence is there in every post you continue to make.0 -

LOL, the old "buy a house" fallacy.
I already have two houses, !!!!!! do I need another for??????
Prices up here have fallen all the way back to, (yes, wait for it............) March 2007 levels,:rotfl: and are currently rising. Wheres the gain in buying more?
I'm here to debate prices and the economy, not to buy houses.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Why not buy a bigger house then, before you 'miss the boat', and prices shoot off into the stratosphere?
Could it be that (a) you're talking balls, (b) you don't have any money and no-one will lend you any, and (c) you're talking balls, again?0 -

You really are full of it McTwatish.
If prices are, rising why don't you take advantage, buy another and make some nice capital gains?
I would suggest that you cannot get the finance because you have no equity or money.
That is why you are hoping for HPI to rescue you."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -
