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.

    Hmm - no, it's not possible to link to a search result. Anyway, here's page 1 of your list of topics started on the debate forum. Spot the agenda?

    Not really FP. Only 4/5 postings of indices and the rest information that might have an effect on future prices. What would you expect on a forum that debated house prices. Average replies around 35 ~ so quite a few thought they it worth their time debating.

    My opinion is that house prices will be stable. (My forecast for this year was +2%) others have a differing opinion and post topics which they believe will lead to lower prices.

    It's a forum for debate. I see you have only ever started 1 topic on this forum. If you don't like the topics on offer, may I suggest you start a few of your own?
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.
  • Although this is a 'debate' subforum, at the end of the day MSE overall is a message board where people look for advice on how to save money and whatnot, it does offend me a little bit, and do the 'community' a little bit of disservice, to see this pattern of behaviour, relentlessly ramping the inflationary view, without even the tiniest hint of a concession that there any alternative view view might have validity.

    Remind me again, exactly how is that different to Brit1234, Macaque or geneer relentlessly ramping a deflationary view without even the slightest concession that any alternative view might have validity?
