So the 'crash' is over, how was it for you?

Conrad

As I predicted in 2008, the crash would be over by late summer / Autumn 2009, at least for the S East, although it now seems I may have been overly cautious as there are signs much of the rest of the UK has bottomed.

So, how was it for you?

A dissapointment?

Oh stop trolling Conrad.

Haven't you got something better to do...BTL needing work, or something?

don't really agree its over imo. but - to this point - its been both a) good (I remain employed), and b ) bad (my parents still can't find a buyer for their house)

What?

If the crash was over, it ended in Feb. That's a couple of seasons out fella.

Seems a funny time, when it looks like most of the experts and most on here are predicting falls to be calling NOW the time the crash ended after 6 months of rises, and now the time when it has bottomed.

Scary mortgage advisor!!

Graham, you've made the mistake of accepting Hamish's (and others) insistence that Nationwide represents reality. Its 1 index, over a smallish proportion of the market. Not to be relied upon, unless going down!

Halifax only joined in properly in the summer.

Land Registry may well follow suit as its "catches up".

Doesn't mean the OP's premise holds water, either though, as we don't know what the winter will bring.

Are "stalling" sales going to push prices up if they contain a relatively high proportion of "good" houses, or will it push prices down due to FTBs jumping in, for small/cheap houses, after saving hard for the previous 12 months...?

Well this time last year gold was under 500 pounds an ounce. Now it's over 600 pounds an ounce.
Ask me again next year will you. I'm still confused by the whole process.

Hey loves,

The only remaining uncertainity is the impact the abscence of subprime lending will have on the aplitude of price rises, but steady rises we shall continue to see.

I should have bought that flat in Harlow in December - grrrrr

You're wrong mate, prices will fall 50%. Someone on this board said so, so it must be true.
