Why are there so many FOR SALE/ houses for sales, Popping up everywhere?

Gorgeous_George

There will be pent up demand from people who need to move to larger homes as their families increase (or to new areas for work).

The prices they ask for are probably what they need in order to move. Achieve much less and the move could be off.

Potential FTBers can't get mortgages or do not want to commit just yet. Rental property is such a good standard that there is not much appetite to risk negative equity, a broken boiler, rising damp etc., - especially when unemployment and a Condem-inspired double dip recession is just around the corner.

There's very few properties available where I live (a very nice area). So when one does come on the market a heated bidding war inevitably ensues.

But I've no idea what it's like at the lower end of the market where all the peasants live.

I know it well

If I had Geneer's skills I'd put together an amusing little cartoon with the caption "Head Shot - Pow!"

So i talk about last year and you bring up 2009. Brilliant. And in todays post where did i mention crash? Again brilliant

Look at your graph again from last spring onwards. Hardly the huge gains bulls were hoping for

I don't recall anyone talking about huge gains. I do however recall 50% off by Christmas... not sure what happened to that.

sorry doire but when you mentioned spring bounce you did mean spring didn't you or did you mean the period afterwards because you seem to be backtracking here.

if you're telling us spring isn't spring any more - could you explain why?
