Not read through, just don't seem to have the energy for it.
4 'buyers' for every property. How many at peak?0 -

Still the fact filtering goes on - will you ever grow out of it?
Here on the front line plenty of people are using thier parents 'free' equity to get on board.
The Human will always finds a way:D
Oh how I lol'd at the part I've highlighted, this comes from the man that when faced with the cast iron fact of the second law of thermodynamics, he counters it with a vague, non factual 'human spirit' argument.
The rest of the post wasn't worth passing comment on.:D0 -
A certain section just cannot exist without an impending doom accompanying thier journey through time and space.
It's almost as if there must be a Darwinian imperative that a certain section of EVERY generation expects monumental distaster.
The Puritans railed against modern society and told thier followers to come with them to a new promised land (N America), to leave behind a 'decaying' England.
Conrad, without people thinking doom and gloom you'd probably be dead by now. Without people thinking what's the worst that could happen and then consequently putting in place barriers to prevent the worst from happening civilisation would be alot worse off.
We need optmists and pessimists in this world.0 -

That's 10 people bidding on one property :eek:
So does that mean that there's 2 other properties out there with nobody looking at? :rotfl:
The entire market is swings and roundabouts (as an earlier poster on this thread stated) - buy a nice property that you can afford at the right price and be happy...only you can really decide what those criteria mean for you.....:DNever attach your ego to your position....0 -

Malthus was an astute researcher and a meticulous analyst. It is true that Malthus was wrong when he argued that food production only increases arithmetically, while population increases geometrically. Technological advances changed the equation.
Fusion anyone?'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 -

Ah its the question I asked earlier but what you soon come to realise is that for the same usual suspects many threads are about baiting rather than trying to find out any real facts.
Of course I'm still waiting for an explanation from our few resident Bulls regarding how so many people register per agent every month to get this 750 buyers to 18 sellers.0
