Find any house that has been on the market for a year and you will be able to buy it today for less than you would have paid last year.
That's all you need to know.

[sarcastic]Yes, restrict yourself to a property that no-one else wants from an already diminishing number of supply.
Forget all the other factors you may consider in buying a property [/sarcastic]:wall:

The thing is, House prices will probably depreciate around 5% with stagnation, once Inflation is taken into account. A good time to buy a home, not so good property as an investment. There a plenty of better opportunties if you're looking for growth i.e Equities0 -

Guarantee your wrong,
I brought my property last year, and I guarantee you cant buy it today for less... since...
1 its not for sale, lol and wont be
2 ive spent the last 4 months investing my time/cash in improving the property.
Your blanket assumptions mean nothing, and no one will EVER know what you could have brought for a year ago since you never made an offer on anything.
Years ago when my dad brought he brought at 10% below asking... today im sure you could get near to 10% below asking, but nothing is a god given right and could just be down to which side of the bed the seller got out of that morning.
The discounts your seeing off prices now, is off unrealistic prices.
when my gf was selling she never dropped the price.
she had valuations
1 - 110 to 105 expect to get 100
2 - 115 to 110k expect to get 105
3 - 125 to 115 expect to get 110
used number 3, marketed around 120
She is getting just below 110
No one knows how to value the market... but she got what she wanted and what she expected. You can read the figures all you want, a house will sell for what you want it to if your willing to hold strong!Plan
1) Get most competitive Lifetime Mortgage (Done)
2) Make healthy savings, spend wisely (Doing)
3) Ensure healthy pension fund - (Doing)
4) Ensure house is nice, suitable, safe, and located - (Done)
5) Keep everyone happy, healthy and entertained (Done, Doing, Going to do)0 -

So your guarantee means jack all then as your place hasn't been for sale for over a year then?
Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.
