Sigh.
Funny that this thread has gone this was especially as Hamish dug you out about being wrong (again).0 -
So we have have been tipped back into recession because of a collapse in the construction sector. That can't be good for the house price growth optimists.
So.... On Planet Brit:
Fewer houses being built + soaring population = lower house prices.
Alrighty then....:rotfl:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

With mortgage rates rising, stamp duty back, high inflation, wage freezes, rising unemployment can anyone really say house prices won't fall back to reasonable levels.
i'd say it's a sure thing
in fact i'd go one better and say prices will be 50% down by christmas [STRIKE]2009[/STRIKE] 2012'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.'

Actually Brit, you don't really think things through just like the rest of the have nots. If no more houses are being built that means that the supply doesn't increase which is a good thing for both home owners and landlords. I'm glad you agree it's a good thing.So we have have been tipped back into recession because of a collapse in the construction sector. That can't be good for the house price growth optimists (ie over leveraged landlords).
Oh dear do we really need to remind you about your past predictions...can anyone really say house prices won't fall back to reasonable levels.0 -

I dunno. You forecast a double dip recession. You get called an idiot, doom monger, arm chair economist.
Double dip recession happens. You get called an idiot, dumb, sad and misfortunate.
One thing you lot couldn't pull off any better, is the art of bitterness. It's just oozing out uncontrollably.
Signing out of this thread now, as it's become pathetic. I remain smug

Landlords ? Yes.
Homeowners ? Maybe not a good thing. Well, not as good as some would have us believe.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
