Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

Shall we have our own 12 month house price survey then?

    what did she call you in reply?

    "You and that bl**dy forum. What the hell do you discuss on it all day long? Interest rates or something? Whether houses have dropped 0.32% in the past hour? The people on there probably need a good bit of fresh air like you do. If you spent as much time working as you do on that forum you wouldn't need to worry about the economy as we'd be minted."

    But then did follow that with my real, correct name. Which, and I don't want to shock you, isn't actually Cleaver.

    Has anyone noticed that the people predicting drops tend to go for nice, round, whole numbers, whereas people predicting rises go for more, erm, angular numbers? With decimal points?
