I'll let you bears into a secret. We will not allow the average house price to drop under 160k. We deserve it.

A comment made by Sibley today on https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3777733

Lets see if Sibley and his alter egos (Mr & Mrs Ree) can stop his price falls. The present figures below on the brink of falling below £160k.

Average House price
Halifax = £160,063
Nationwide = £162,228
Land Registry = £160,384

Do your best Sibley. :rotfl:

    Do prices of properties ever drop as low as £160k?

    They must be on the worst of all worst Council Estates!!

    Never knew the "S" meant Sibley. Able to jump over skyscrapers in a single bound, able to stop a speeding locomotive, able to stop average land registry prices falling under £160k, it's Super Sibley!!!!

    Yes, it's true and time you peasants learned your place.
    Do not try to get above your station again. We are keeping you down there. No hope of ever getting an average house under 160K.

    We will allow HPI to stagnate around 175K. You will have to work 24/7 to keep a roof over your heads. That is our long term aim. :rotfl:

    Aye.

    Has he fixed their metholodgy too? Cus that was wrong when it was falling.
  • The funniest part about the whole Sibley thing is that as much as the bears love to mock his theory that "they won't let it happen", as it turns out, he was right. :)
