    Indeed.

    Supply will dry up, prices will rise again.
    If there is no supply - literally, where supply becomes nil - do prices go up to infinity?

    We should ban house selling altogether. People would have infinite wealth.

    And those with the infinite wealth would have plenty spare to help out non-homeowners.

    Easy innit.
    Long live the faces of t'wunty.

    Aug and Sept 09 were 2.5% growth combined. YoY will likely be down to 3/4% in 2 months, even without much in the way of falls.

    Quite, but I remember a few months back when Hamish pulled a similar stunt when some large drops fell out the back end, he got quite excited after predicting the 10% YoY figure. So decided I would play that game too.
