Or stay under your mammies roof and rules another 3 years. Out staying your welcome but at least 6 years past the age when over 87% of the population move out of home and stand on their own 2 feet.
Good job I am still welcome then isn't it.
Don't worry I will soon be finding myself a none deluded seller to buy from when the deposit is upto it.
Did you forget my comment that real men don't belittle others to try an make themselves look better... Of course being a real man you already knew this... oh wait...

Sorry my friend you have it all wrong.
You either pay the price the seller wants or continue paying our mortgages off.
Win win for us old chap. The longer you keep renting hoping for a crash the better as far as I'm concerned.
Some sellers are already selling their homes for way under what they wanted to get for it:)0 -
A man-baby doesn't know what a real man is nor what it takes to be one, hence you're still living under the parental purse and rools. So go ask your mammy - that's assuming she's ever met a real man.
All you talk about is men, babys, mummys and balls.
No wonder your ma threw you out:rotfl:0 -

Basically a few mostly Northern England areas with significant falls are skewing the national indices downwards. But for most people in most places prices are stable or rising.
The bit in bold is an odd way of seeing it. If prices are stable in 55% and rising in 10% then in 35% of areas they are falling. This means that for most people, i.e. 90%, prices in their area are stable or falling.
If you want to be accurate you could say:
"For around half of people prices are static. For around a third of people prices are falling. Just one in ten people are seeing price rises."0 -

On a site populated by posters like Brit who claim prices are falling every month?

Those cheering on a crash mostly need falling prices for their gamble to pay off. Stable prices do them little to no good. Rising prices do them no good at all.
Only falling prices can really save their bacon.
So if prices are stable or rising in 2/3 of the UK, and only falling in 1/3 of the UK, then I'm quite happy to count that as a win for the good guys.;)“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I reckon it all just makes YOU feel better to see it that way!0 -

Quick question "Reweird". Being a new member to a forum locked to non-members, I was wondering how exactly you managed to sign on
with a user name clearly playing on name of well known forum member "rewired".0 -

Prices did fall. Significantly.
Nominal falls are already greater than the 90's crash (and likely to increase).
You have admitted the same previously.
As such, it is reasonable to conclude that you are trolling.
Your assertion that prices are "stable or rising in 2/3 of the UK" is intellectually dishonest, and doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Again, you yourself have discussed the problems with the high level blunt averages...when it suited you to do so.
Again, it is reasonable to conclude that you are trolling.0
