if you didn't do it and agreed with people maybe you wouldn't be called it so frequently...

Maybe if you could take someone disagreeing with you, you wouldn't have to come out with name calling. What's more, from the Mr Men books. Bless.

But tell you what, I'll try to agree with you more, keep you happy, let you think you do actually have a good point. Will you not call me names then? Such consideration.

I just want to find out with you guys the reasons why some of you want prices to keep going up and some of you to see drop in prices.

lol - crying... me nope. that desperate to try and prove a point?

but it's good to see that you can't come back with a constructive answer...

I`ll have a go.

I suspect that the reason that the average age of a FTBer is slightly lower than in 1990 is that although the average FTBer is now 31, the funding for more FTBers is now from their parents, the so called "Bank of Mom & Dad".

So, if someone tries to make the point "property prices can`t be that high, because the average FTBer is no older than 20 years ago", then it isn`t a very good point.

i don't mind people disagreeing with me - i do mind idiots like you (hope that you don't mind me saying ) that don't understand and grasp the basics...

Sorry, we'll keep it to the basics next time, instead of looking any further into any data you supply.

Would that get me favourable remarks?

bank of mum and dad would have gone on then too - the answer for me is that tougher lending criteria now takes a bigger slice of buyers out of the equation so the calculation subset is smaller.

there are less FTB's now than 1990.

i don't think anyone made that point - if anything that would indicate house prices should be lower right now.

I supposedly have a "vested interest" in price rises. I own my own home (no mortgage as such) and I stand to gain through inheritance. However, I can see beyond my own personal gain, and have come to the conclusion that high property prices in the UK makes us uncompetitive, makes us ever more reliant on maintaining high prices, and leaves those who take on ever larger mortgages with less money to spend in other areas of the economy.

And who knows, if the banks have to keep lending more and more, one or more of them could go bust ! I know, I know, that`s almost unthinkable, but it`s the logical conclusion.
