A bull Victory? Likely for 2009.

It is a sad day for the bears, but all this talk about HPI taking off again and the return to 2007 prices next year is pure nonsence.

Although we have reached the bottom, the recent rises will not contuine and we are likely to bump around at this level for a good while yet. i.e. I expect to see some falls, followed by some more rises over the next couple of years.

Hey guys, lets not turn this into bull vs bear eh. The bears have already admitted it's not exactly great from our POV and have accepted that without little remarks, would be nice to have a decent thread!

Given the level of abuse suffered here over past weeks by anyone suggesting prices were not on a negative slope forever, Graham, it's a little bit rich to expect entirely gracious behaviour.

Can you remember the insults hurled at us when it was suggested this may be possible?

The ideal time to buy was probably somewhere around the turn of the year, preferably on a tracker mortgage arranged sometime in September. But hindsight is very easy.

How about 27% below in August 08 on a 0.49 lifetime tracker.;)

But luck and circumstance played a fairly big part.

Nope, I'd prefer to wait and see where we really stand once the borrowed money has run out, eye watering debt levels are not good for the country.
