Or did you mean houses on the way down and gold is still on its way up.
House prices have had a correction.'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 -

In a civilised society an affordable roof over your head isn't too much to ask, personally I think amassing rafts of properties is a bit 'weird' unless you are a housing association. I imagine that comment will offend some, but hey if the cap fits....

And an affordable roof over your head is available now. Rents are at historical lows.
There is no god given right for everyone to own a house. It's never happened before, and it won't now either.“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.”
