    Oh look. Timing. zzzzzzzz

    Hows that 2002 soft landing looking pimp?

    Anyone who thought that prices would stagnate in 2002 knew less about house prices than you. ;)

    Average prices yeah.
    Is it fair to say that average prices effected, basically, no one.

    I think most will understand the point I'm making.
    Maybe not the pimperni1.

    I think I articulated just how many people the average price affected (and just how many were affected by buying and selling during the correction). :cool:

    How could they be "bulls" if they thought house prices would "soft land". By definition they would be "neithers" (ie prices would neither go up nor go down). You have yet to link to any poster who said prices would land softly in 2002, 2003, 2004 or 2005 as far as I can see. ;)

    Again, no links to any posters as I said (and Nationwide doesn't count as a poster and an increase prediction by them of 13% doesn't count as a "soft landing"). ;)

    Who said nationwide was a poster?

    Though you apparently consider the well know VIs to be "neithers"?

    I suppose anyone currently claiming stagnation is a neither too.
    Which is probably news for our current crop of property bull-trolls. :rotfl:

    Just post a link to Columbo or me claiming a soft landing in 2002, 2003, 2004 or 2005 and I will admit that you are right. ;) I doubt Nationwide would be considered a "bull" by most people. Maybe a VI but the link you posted by them was calling a rise of something like 13% so hardly a "soft landing". Anyway off to bed so don't go "Pimps has gone all quiet, can't answer that one then"? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Until after the event. The reasons for the 2003-2007 boom were unknown. Today we are suffering the consequences which will take some years yet to unravel.

    You doubt the usual VIs are considered to be bullish. :rotfl:
    Woof. There goes your credibility.

    As to the 13% Naturally the question has already been addressed.
    But you just keen on pretending this hasn't been asked and answered already pimperdoodle. :D

    Lets not consider posting on topic pimp.

    Cos then it would become clear how reliant you are on the patented bull "reset button" and what a vacuous, empty suit you really are.;)
