Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    You're praising the foresight of posters on HPC for seeing the price crash coming. In fact, many of the current posters joined after the crash began in 2007. Contrarian geniuses, eh?

    Tedious pointless pedantry. More patented robstatic.

    You would be right, that wasn't one of my better posts. One of them would probably have gone like this. "I know you keep on about a massive crash in house prices in excess of 50% but I just don't see it. There is already a housing shortage in the places that most people want to live. I predict there will be a soft landing".


    Of course. Cos since 2008, the bulls decided if house prices only fell 49.9% rather than 50%, the bulls win. :rotfl:
    Then of course theres the soft landing. Although this is the new bullish definition of soft landing, being anything up to 49.8%.

    How exceptionally, grindingly dull.
    As has been noted, its hard to believe your in your 50s.
