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.

"Once again" !!!!

Go on, find the countless posts where I have done this (I guess you might find about 4 in the past 2 or 3 years).
Now, did you not mention something about your mortgage and personal financial situation a couple of times ?

You're comparing apples and Oranjeboom though.
Either you compare the number who live in OO homes with those who live in homes owned by someone else or you compare OO households with non-OO households.
Other metrics are available.
Just to make the point, pretty much 100% of homes are owned.
Not necessarily. The comment was a reply to the much repeated mantra that any prospective government that campaigned on a basis of trying to stop house inflation would never be voted in as 70% of the poplation are homeowners and wish to see prices rising as fast as possible. I do not believe that is the case. as the definition of homeowner is rather skewed.0
