    The price of the average three-bedroom semi will go up by more than £25,000 by 2016


    Part of the great story in the Express today.

    Really makes sense and puts the bears latest ' It's here' crash talk to the sword.

    Could I please ask people like Geneer who have no means to buy. Can you refrain from posting any comments?

    What you think or want is irrelevant.
    I feel sorry for you but you are not in the game. You are wasting forum space by commenting.

    Why don't you join a Ferrari club forum and harp on about if prices drop 80% you will buy one?

    Stop wasting your time and ours.

    House prices are stable and going to rise. Read the story. Think about it. It's FACT.

    I can smell the fear:)

    It's fine saying you are a home owner and do not want prices to rise if you plan living in your house.

    I'm either selling mine or living off the rent money in Thailand. I want house prices to go through the roof.
    My comments have really hurt the HPC team today. It's made me smile.

    Once i become a home owner i hope house prices continue to fall.

    Piece of pi55 to move up the ladder that way i reckon.

    Hows the mrs:)

    Well then I suggest you have a good wash and settle down with a nice cup of cocoa.

    I'm sure your mum will make you one.;)

    The good thing about Express headlines is they reach a hell of a lot of people.

    Totally agree Sibley.

    The Express headlines reach a lot of people ..... and I'm sure by now that the majority of those people realise that the Express headlines are a joke .....

    They are a laughing stock .... we had the 7th warmest October on record and are on course for the warmest November ever .....

    surely people must realise any 'news' in a paper is there purely to increase sales, whether or not its true isn't a factor

    The Daily Sport used to print some excellent factual stories. Shame it shut up shop or I might have been a millionaire by now if I followed their business advice.
