Asking price increase does not equal selling price increase of course.

What a GREAT start to the week !! :T

All the recent positive news about employment bottoming out, confidence on the high street returning and multi billion pound investments in British manufacturing are now flowing through to the housing market. :T
Asking prices for now... big positives on all indices including LR to be expected later in the Spring.

Whilst I don't give much credence to asking prices it used to be that any index that showed even a marginal drop was worth promulgating by the bears - why complain when the bulls reciprocate?

Spin doctors at work, politicians doing their job for once.
Estate agents selling houses

For the first time in nearly two years this weekend, noticed another house I would have liked to buy, its at least 25% more than mine, fine... apart from just like mine this hit the e-market SOLD STC.

I have a long standing believe that these properties will be sold as soon as they are made available, because they just continue to tick the same boxes, area, location and plot strengths. The bricks and mortar side of things make minor improvements, but even the worst of the worst in the best area is still worth a fortune.

Wait for the crash, wait forever, doesnt matter, house is a house, and not an investment. You all need to just get on with life and stop trying to delay the inevitable.

Everyone needs a home, people find a owned house a top priority now! Much more than it ever previously was. Demand will never drop off a cliff, people may find it harder, but never impossible.

Same where I live.
EA's don't even bother putting up a For Sale sign anymore.
Property comes on the market, EA contacts his 'waiting list' and the property goes SSTC in a matter a days, even hours.

See how McTavish rejoices at this news of yet more persons being priced out. He will be thinking twice when Scotland is independent and all the prospective tenants in Aberdeen are covered in woad.

This really does not matter, what matters is that you know what is coming, REALLY KNOW.

People eventually would never put up with high food or water costs, and housing will be no different.
These things move in cycles and it does not matter at all what any one poster on this board says, there will be a rebalancing, it's justy Karma, ying and yang:)

Let the Bull Trolls keep on deluding themselves(and I do not think Hamish a troll on the whole), they are aware of a future property crash as much as any bear on this board. Probably 90% of them are getting angry at the crash loving bears because it means they will lose their imaginery gains.

The golden economic period that Gordon Brown had us believe would go on forever is long gone, yet people are still behaving like it is here.

Patience boys, it will happen but not on your terms.
