Express - HOUSE PRICES SET TO SOAR

My gut feeling is house prices will bomb after the election - no links or proof, just a gut feeling!
And if they don't?
What will be the next thing "just around the corner" that will make house prices "bomb"?“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

What was your gut feeling in Feb 2009?'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 -

I cant see how they can rise in times of austerity when taxes rise and incomes stuggle (if you have any)....... I always thought house prices reflected the economy - boom in the good years etc????
We're coming into unchartered territory (in recent history) - very few will have witnessed the cuts and taxation about to hit us.....0 -

Unlikely it is the CEBR after all, a property developer lobby organisation. The only thing they did more was take more money fro BARRATTS Homes and TAYLOR WIMPY.
Like the bit where the article turns negative land registry monthly figures into rising figures.

Great news.
Just how exactly are these houses going to be sold is no-one can afford them?0 -
This ain't news. Even during the 1st stage of the crash the 2 rags, The Daily Mail/express were predicting house price rises on a weekly basis.0
