isn't that the same thing as the HPC crowd who already own property preaching that they want lower house prices but don't want to sell their own house for anything less than "market value" or in other words as much as they can get for it...
No.
It`s Sibley making a rather rash and sweeping statement.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
I love one of the HPC gang to look at my house when I sell it. I'd totally humiliate them.
Even better, I'd like to throw a house party, invite them then harp on about how much my house has gone up since I bought it.
I reckon I could have them jumping off Beachy Head in minutes.We love Sarah O Grady0 -
No get it right.
Houses that were on the market might have dropped. Most people either took their house off the market or didn't put it on in the first place.
This is probably the best I have seen yet.
"House prices didn't drop....only those on the market dropped".
That absolutely brilliant!0 -

Remember we've had a turbulent couple of months with the election and emergency budget which caused caution in the market.
It will be interesting to see how the next few months pan out
When the huge cuts come?0 -

You mean the most truthful statement.
If you have a 200k house.
The market goes down 10% so you dont sell it. You wait until prices go up.
Your house never dropped a penny.We love Sarah O Grady0 -

I fear this may upset you.
The market goes up, you don't sell it. Your house never increased by a penny. Still worth exactly what you bought it for.
Still, enjoy your party telling everyone how much your house has increased by...wayheyyyyy, nothing.0 -

Sort of true.
In which case millions of house prices have not dropped, because they have not been sold.
:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

And millions haven't increased.
It's stagnation, over decades
