Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

Don't you guys get bored of this?
One day a negative report comes out, and the bears cheer and clink glasses and bait the bulls. The next day, the opposite happens.
F**k me, can't you see how intellectually vacuous this all is?0 -

Very true.
We have no idea how tedious it must have been to deal with these guys every day....
At least house price debate sites keep them all in one place.
“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.”

And if the journos start quoting from this forum there will be a house price crash, mass suicide and a complete lack of people smiling. Well maybe Hamish would still be smiling, as Aberdeen presumably wouldn't be affected.
Yes, quite right. I believe they do have a lot of power to influence public sentiment and bring on a second recession.
One can only hope that the highest paid reporters are the ones that get the chop first when the axe finally falls on the media.0 -

It was only last week that certain bulls were backing up some housing report in which Captial Economics were also quoted.
This week they are slating them as being rubbish.0 -

That happened long ago all we are left with now are lackeys and VI press releases :eek:'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

"When the going got tough for households during the credit crisis, the Bank of England acted swiftly to relieve the pressure by cutting interest rates. But with rates at a historically low level of 0.5 per cent, there’s little place else to go, leaving home owners to fight it out for themselves. "
I'm not so sure that the BoE reduced rates in order to support the property market, but it was a nice knock on effect. However, I do believe that if house prices are falling, that it's yet another barrier to the BoE raising interest rates, which is great news for my challenge. 0 -
This thread proves beyond all doubt that bulls must hammer the bears badly at next rise. :rotfl:
Look a them larging it up. Over poxy £2000 as well :rotfl:
I've saved more than that on interest payments. I reckon we will get a small rise next month. Keep your powder dry.
Is that much consolation for being a 38 year old virgin though?0
