  • Another thread ruined by MrRee and his stupid multiple identities. Thanks guys. I mean guy.

    I'll butt out of the thread, ok?
    Because quite frankly, I'm getting tired of being called a sockie just because I agree with Mr.Ree or Sibley or whoever.

  • A strong housing market is key to the wider health of the economy - the HPC crazies are so short sited - as long as they get a house for a cheap price that's all the care about.

    Someone owns a house it goes up in value by 8k per month .... so that means the dudes feel richer and go out and spend? the dudes dont actually get 8k per month lodged into their back accounts man!

    That's what happens ... not in just one month, but then you can't be so stupid as to think I meant that (or can you? I do wonder).

    Let's assume that a persons house increases by £5,000 a month - highly probably given todays DATA.

    After 12 months their asset has increased by £60,000. They can safely borrow against that rise and buy a BMW X5 at £60,000 - without any worry whatsoever about not being able to clear all debts if needed.

    Obviously, after 10 years that person has £600,000 in unused equity ..... that's a LOT of buying power!!

    A healthy Housing Market is what we are now seeing.

    It will happen whatever the sad, lonely, people at HPC wish for.

    It is the engine house of the UK Economy.

    The media are on this like a shot.

    There won't be a homeowner in the UK not adding at least 20k to their property value.

    Decent houses are in demand now. Prices will be over 2007 levels if the place is right.

    In a very ideal situation, this is hardly a representation of what people normally do and it is very far from benefitting the economy significantly. The economic situation is far more complex than that and currently very vulnerable to the Eurozone, a significant threat.

    the problem with this forum is that there are no moderators. if there were, then threads wouldn't get ruined by immature trolls like yourself squeaking at each other.
