    Too late now, should've bought it 2 years ago when I had the chance instead of lisening to the w.ankers on here telling me to hold out for another 20% crash.
    i remember some nutters telling me that house prices would crash 70%,others claimed 50%-70% and it was going to happen, others said 50% and more reasonable people said they could drop 30% but maybe less...

    the best thing is that they still believe it... never mind though it's just another 66.8% falls needed on house prices to get to what they [STRIKE]wished[/STRIKE] hoped for...

    Yeah, I pop in every now and then when Im bored. As your join date is June 2010 you won't remember the fun days of 2008. To be honest, it's pretty boring around here now since the bull victory.

    I remember a time you could give reasons as to why they wouldn't fall.

    Good times they were. People would actually put different points of views across.

    Now it seems, you don't wish to do so. We throw interest rate rises, repo's, unemployment, inflation at you, and you just dribble some playground talk in response.

    We all know people were wrong, because of massive stimulus no one predicted. Time to get over it, and face what's coming.

    We have had to put with the same folk spouting that nonsence for years now. It's wearing a little thin these days.

    Then toddle off.

    This is a debate the economy board.

    The economy has been propped up by QE and massively low interest rates, SMI, and also worldwide factors.

    You wished to discuss the fall in all these factors. Yet now, you appear to be bored of talking about them.

    Unless you are stating all the above factors will stay implemented, and people will just be alllowed to live in houses they simply cannot afford, then the issue is still very much in our faces.

    If you do not wish to discuss them, fine. But simply overtaking the board with playground slur and HPC linkups whenever someone else wishes to disucss what you were only to happy to discuss when it was going your preferred way is a little stupid. No?
