I have no idea why you think that applies to me.
Why is that prediction relevant? What about all the other incorrect ones?
Like this one?

I thought that it happened in[STRIKE] 2007[/STRIKE] 2008/9, as predicted by JD. In which case, selling to rent in 2002 would be pretty daft really.
I have corrected that for you

The "sharp drop" in 2007 to which JD refers appears, from peak, to be the following:
Halifax £2.7k
Nationwide £2.6k
Land Registry £1.5k
In actual fact all the indices were significantly higher at the end of 2007 than they were at the beginning.0 -

Don't tell me he was even wrong about house prices collapsing in 2007 :eek: what was he correct about then?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

Jonathan said in April 205 that "although there would only be small falls in price in the next few months there was likely to be a sharp drop in 2007".
I wonder what he would have said if someone had been able to point out that prices would go up from the then average price of £156,128 to a peak of £186,044 before falling at all. Here we are now with prices at £165,194 (all figures from Nationwide).
(Although in "real" terms they have of course plummeted).0 -
You are not sayng that prices are actually higher now than when he made his prediction? the plot thickens I am struggling to see Geneer's point about him being a great forecaster.

I get it now, he was actually referring to real house prices
