Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    If people save that money it won't counter deflation: printing money only increases prices if it is spent.

    Even better, we all get rich and prices fall :)
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    Taxation then. That's the answer with the housing market. Tax people hoarding money and they will be forced to spend it.

    Why not try the austerity approach? Bring a sense of normality back. Rather than the illusional monetary expansion approach where everything is paid for tomorrow.
