If we vote for Brexit what happens

So when are we actually going to know if house prices are falling? All these reports are for deals probably done before the EU vote so will it be later this month or October that we see how sold figures have been affected?
As at FTB, I have to say I've noticed more properties going Under Offer recently. I was hoping for a slump but I feel like it might have just been a pause and now people might just be going for it anyway.

See Corbyn is saying 'I agree with Theresa'.Why Jeremy Corbyn has refused to back European single market membership
The Labour leader will not support continued UK membership without significant reforms.
Labour sources have today revealed for the first time that Jeremy Corbyn does not support automatic UK membership of the single market.
Not sure how that will play out with his supporters.It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?0 -

Vast swathes of Labour core electorate voted to leave. Corbyn read that factor correctly. By only reluctantly making an appearance at the end of the campaigns. He made a shrewd choice.0 -

Statement from the Prime Minister
You've been told. Don't ask again.
Quite right why declare our hand.Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

Yes being accused of adopting the stance of most Conservative MPs is hardly going to endear him to Momentum.
The comments about Davis being put back in his box by May will not go down well eitherFew people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -
But I thought one of the arguments for brexit was to stop foreigners undercutting our labour and stealing jobs?
Is that how you view immigration. As I don't.
Labour rates are falling for low skilled work. That's a global issue. Nothing to do with the EU directly. If anything it's a problem for the EU.0 -

Which part was hard to understand about my post that led you to believe that this is the way I feel about immigration? Are you resorting to troll tactics of purposely misinterpreting posts? That would be a shame.Labour rates are falling for low skilled work. That's a global issue. Nothing to do with the EU directly. If anything it's a problem for the EU.
That was one of my arguments during the brexit debates, that it wasn't EU workers suppressing wages but globalisation.0 -

so you genuinely believe that the lack of (skilled) labour doesn't increase the price employers are willing to pay
and the excess of labour doesn't decrease the price
if supply and demand for laboour has no effect on price, why then doesn't everyone earn exactly the same0
