None of the above - more info belowSo why aren't you buying more?
If you think rising prices are such a dead cert?
Ive got two houses now, ill only buy what i can afford, i bought last year, and i now have a rental property thats enough for me, maybe if prices stay lowish i may enter the market again.
your poll is ridiculous and the option you have chose is along the lines of if that 2 week all inclusive holiday in dubai comes down to 100 pound i will go.
putting your money where you mouth is, i think if houses fall everyone would be getting their money out to buy, you are a 100% moron.0 -

if you're such a big man - why don't you sell up, wait for prices to fall and re-buy at a cheaper price...Graham_Devon wrote: »Same with all those who ramp HPI. They have houses, don't want anymore, its too risky. What they do already have though, they want to increase in price so they can release it and achieve what they wanted to acheive when they set out. If prices fall, all the effort they have put into this venture is wasted.
ahhh - i already know the answer... you've got no balls, don't believe what you preach and you don't expect prices to falll... or you're just frothing for the sake of frothing...0 -

cleverclogs joe, im the real deal . im telling you what its like in the real world and not the intranet one alot of you spend 2 much time in. house prices are crashing where i live but some anorak on here will try to tell me theyre going up and even post a silly graph to try to prove it. its bonkers. but good luck to you all the sameDoes anyone know if Dirk is a real "bear", or is it an alias/sockie of a "bull" who's trying to make bears look like morons in a effort to discredit them further?0 -
I think property prices will fall but I'm buying anywayI bought 3 months ago even though I think that prices will fall over the short term and stagnate for years. My strategy isnt so much about HPI, its to take advantage of super low interest rates and make big overpayments while the sun shines.
I feel that I'm majorly putting my money where my mouth is, but only time will tell if it works out.

But no, they don't want to build. Not at the moment, not a good time to sell new builds see. So far easier to just go on and on and warn everyone else about missing the boat and warning of shortages, and hope and prey this means prices will rise and they can sell off some of their existing stock and investments.
Yes they are building. Crawley has whole new estate of 2500 homes being built over the next few years.

Because it's my home. Maybe?
I'm probably confused. But the OP is about investments.
