    It's impossible to win an argument when the other side changes what it says it's arguing whenever the situation shifts, which is what the bears do. Even if you've been directionally right all the way through.

    You seen Hamish today?

    He's now correct because "as expected" prices have fallen.

    Correct again! Falls = Correct. Stagnantion = Correct, Rises = Correct.

    Nice to see the Mr Muddle line appearing again though, I must admit.

    well, he's a bit more correct than you will ever be with your 65% price falls that you expected to happen...

    it's comical for someone to have got things so wrong to criticise others for getting their predictions much closer to their own.

    So what you really mean to pebble dash the board with is the statement house prices didn't crash up your street.
    Do please try to be clear sibley, or other posters will just think your a nutter.

    Yawn.

    I live in Loose Valley near Maidstone.

    Go on. Do a search on Google.

    Tell me how much houses have dropped?

    I am looking at a picture of a 2 bed terraced as I type this 215k.

    Will you ever be able to afford that? NO.

    You'll be waiting a while. There isn't a hope in hell house prices dropping by 53%, certainly not in the South East.

    Presuming that's an ME15 postcode, prices have dropped 14% from peak - 2% in the last three months (Land Reg figures).

    The average price for a terraced is under £119k and falling.

    Interesting to see sales volumes have fallen off a cliff there (680 at peak, 184 in Jan 11), indicating more falls to come.
