I'm also very pleased you're done well for yourself Mr Ree, but your posts suggest you have little idea how the other half live, which is probably around 98% of the UK to be fair.

Suggesting the crappy end of the market is half a million will just result in your your credibility dropping faster than Thomas Cooks' share prices.

Point taken.

But, you see, those properties ARE at the crappy end of the market from my perspective ..... as you cannot hope to buy much below those figures in the places I wish to live and spend my time, that is fact. There is no credibility lost, at all - as the figures are there for all to see.

Maybe I have hauled myself, through hard work and endeavour, to the top 10% of those who have wealth.

I have posted on another thread that the Thomas Cook shares yesterday were a golden chance to make some very easy money - I took that chance and made some money. That is how I run my life, I make money where others fear to tread - 90% of the people either cannot be bothered or are not clever enough, that's not really my fault, now is it?

Let me see now, how to put this really simply so that you understand ....... why would anyone put their house up for sale if there was nowhere else to buy????????????

A buoyant market would be self fulfilling.

In that if there is as much confidence in the market as you said there was then there would be no major problem with supply because people would put their houses on the market knowing that other people will put their houses on the market and so on and so on.

You are referring to forced sellers such as divorce, death , unemployment etc. Well these factors don't really matter if the demand is there, which you seem to claim is there in bucket fulls.

So either you have a healthy buoyant market with a good supply of buyers and sellers creating plenty of transactions or you have a stagnant market which is just trickling along with a small number of transactions because there is little confidence in the market.

shortchanged - you don't listen too well do you?

Say I want to buy a house - what do I do?

I look around to find a house which I would like to move into, if there are no suitable houses available, then I do not market my own house.

If, however, a house appears on the market which suits me then I will place my house on the market .......

It's simple to understand, normally, that if supply has been sold - and not replenished, then we are stagnant .... not through lack of confidence, but through lack of supply.

So why aren't people putting their houses on the market if they are so confident they will sell?

Maybe being negative brings negative things?

I agree. I think you should avoid being negative on other posters.

Some of them are still young and have decades left yet to take advantage of the ups and downs in the property marketplace.

Your advanced age in life shortens your perspective. This is probably a natural thing which explains why elderly people see the world differently.

Internet anonymity is great.

If MrRee seriously had enough money to be living the high life in Sandbanks then it would be a great surprise to me if he spent his leisure time arsong about on forums like this.

Personally, I'm only doing it cause I'm at work.

Even billionaire street-fighting ninjas like me can occasionally find the time to grace this forum with our presence so I don't see your point really.

Yes, I've had to turn the sound down on my PC, as the Bullsh*t detector keeps going off
