I suppose the discussion is over until you get someone backing you up again?

Theres no need to pretend it hurts one side of the argument more. It doesn't. If you want HPI, or are invested in property, a long period of stagnation is of as much benefit to you, as it is to those wanting lower prices.
All this pretence that it's the worse scenario for those wanting prices to fall is nonsense, and only stated to make YOU feel better. Hence why Hamish will jump on your wagon and start claiming "yes yes yes" and justifying what you stated. The need to help each other out and follow on peach others posts in terms of support is very see through and clearly helping justify your own thoughts.
The worst case scenarios, is of course rising prices and more stimulus....maybe long term government influence on the property markets. It's certainly not a bit of stagnation.
Okay then, stagnation is not the worst case scenario for me, as an owner, HPC would be worse. Its not the worst case scenario for someone wanting to buy, the longer the stagnation the easier it would be for them to buy, HPI would be worse.
Interesting that you think stagnation helps the argument of those who say there will be a crash and those who say there won't equally - that defies logic.
You are over analysing how I feel about house prices.0 -

I was very happy to stay at home during the last house price correction. Cheap board so that we could save for a bigger deposit.
Worked out very well, we bought a bigger house and also bought 2 lock ups at the same time.
Don`t know how this cycle will work out because it is not over yet. Interesting times.0 -

I would imagine that quite a lot of people get on with their parents and that many parents are more than happy with their children remaining at home whatever their age. Conversely I would imagine that this is also a very unsatisfactory situation for many and, if I was to guess, I would guess that the majority of parents/children would much prefer to be living in separate homes and the longer cohabitation goes on the worse it becomes. I left home at 16 though so I really am guessing.0 -
I think everything depends on how you get on with your parents. My niece lived with us for a while, it was a nightmare.
