This coming from the idiot who said there would be no double dip recession:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Jesus is Hamish David Cameron... it all makes sense now. :rotfl:
Which of you is the left sock, and which is the right sock?
Ah well, makes little difference, you're both equally wrong.:)“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

The only thing I can safely predict that will happen in 2013 in this forum is that Bulls will continuously mention the HPC website over and over and over again.
Of course they aren't really bothered about that website one iota.0 -

And that bears from over there will continue to come over here and troll ever more desperately.
Especially with prices rising, as they have done over the last year.

My prediction is that Hamish will continue to create a thread on every CEBR house price ramping propaganda news paper article out there as well as every Daily Express Ramping article.
Prices will fall in 2013, people are in real terms simply getting poorer and the London housing market is starting to falter.:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.

My predictions is that we will all continue having no idea.
All that is happening at the moment is the problem (in all countries) is being averted with more borrowing. It's become a mugs game trying to predict when they will stop (and if it will stop).
We all know it's unsustainable (well most of us), and we all know that the majority within the system (us) are getting poorer as our spending power is slowly but surely ebbed away and we all get relatively worse off. There are some doing very well indeed, but they are not the majority and most are at the end of the working cycle.
Most of us have got lucky with some of our predictions, and most of us stick with them, the OP being no different, just pretty much saying the same thing will happen as last year if the status quo stays the same.
Become a bit of a mugs game trying to predict an outcome now. It's not so much predictions, rather getting lucky. This isn't really a cop out, I could list my own list of things I'm happy to guess at. What I'm saying is, if Greece hadn't been bailed out for the 57th time, if the US hadn't got the fiscal cliff thing through etc etc it would all be different now. The US has got the next problem within 2 months. No doubt the debt ceiling will simply be raised yet again, but there WILL come a point when one country, somewhere, has to stop dancing. I just don't know when that will be, and I don't know which country it will be. I do know it will change the landscape for us ALL. Hell even little London house prices falling back 5% in the year will have a MASSIVE effect on our average houe prices. The only reason they were just above water this last year is due to London. It doesn't take much to tip the balance, and every is macro economics.0 -

Let's see if you get this prediction right for once.
Certainly it should be far easier than your 2009 prediction.
Let's see if you are also willing to post some positive HPI news:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

Are you a "Bull"?
Can't see HPC mentioned anywhere else in this thread.:wall:
