    House prices have risen by a lot more then 0.01%.

    The only reason I still post these days is to wind up the people who were so incredably wrong with their predictions.

    I'm considering making this my signature. :D

    So so funny. :beer:

    Maybe someone should explain they need to raise the price by 10% as accepting offers of 3% below last July's prices may make people think the property is too cheap.

    You guys ever see that video on youtube of the 2 guys kicking a football to each other on the beach and just in the corner of the shot you can see the approaching 100 metre high wave ?.


    Nope

    Sounds funny though

    That must've been what it was like to be a bear in Feb of last year, just as the world turned against you.

    How many of these bears must be kicking themselves for not having bought then??

    Never mind - there'll be another 100 meter high wave along to catch the bulls in about 15 - 20 years time

    Many of the bullish are servicing huge mortgages, due to the fact they bought at peak and the advisor said prices go up forever.

    Forgive their bitterness, it's the only way they can cope :D

    Not in my own case - bought my main and current home (having upgraded over the years due to a few wise property investment moves) in late 2006... stayed out of the market then until May 2009 and got back into BTL.

    My main home has a sensible mortgage (just a smidge under 3 times joint) at BR + 2% (I think ???) for life

    The BTLs are on fixed rates - and are already up 10-15% from the rock bottom prices of the start of last year !! Good tenants in there too, more than covering the mortgage !!!

    Rock on !!!!
