You cant have a price increase on such tiny volumes, its bottlenecked to fall
Dopester told us that we would only see big falls on tiny volumes i.e. they would be mostly forced sales.
what happened
BTW they are getting less tiny by the month. 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

You have to remember we are currently in a period of huge quantative easing, this will have to stop soon. People maybe buying some property now, and maybe they are people who have no mortgage, or who believe we are at the bottom, who knows. I would be interested to see how many of these buyers are first time buyers, not many. Even with the quantative easing the financial institutions have created a massive buffer with loan to value percentage, ask yourself why0

What did you do before joining here? Just wondering why you have looked up every reason for crashing prices but never been on a house price forum. 0 -

You sound desparate mate :eek:'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
Hang on a second here. What exactly are we 'recovering' to?
It's a bit like offering being raped to rape victims, in order to help their 'recovery'.
Sick if you ask me.
For some about to re-mortgage etc,it'll be relief to obtain a decent rate for the future,based on LTV.
Looking to buy,i'm sure opportunities will arise in the coming months.
Swings and roundabouts,always has been always will be.Official MR B fan club,dont go............................0 -

I must admit I should be working rather than being here, I just find it
fascinating reading peoples take on the current situation but not looking at the broad picture, maybe I’m just altruistic J. No, I’m not desperate, but I would suggest a comment like that would show you possibly are?0 -

No, your equating a rise in house prices to rape is sick. Sort yourself out mate."I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience, children. I'm coming to find you now." - Harry Powell, Night of the Hunter, 1955.0 -

OK, if you say so 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

So you beleive that social breakdown and state insolvency is a good option?
Remembering we've been there before.
My point is that you cant recovery to a known bad situation. That would be stupid (or in the case of this forum, not)0
