In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

We're still in the EU, no one knows what deal we will get.
We may get a great deal and things continue to plod along as normal but these people will have lost out on a purchase because they listened to the doom mongers.
Ultimately it'll be worse for the majority to artificially push prices down before anything has actually happened in terms of brexit, FTB's would benefit from that though.
If everyone carried on as normal there will be very few who would lose out if prices fell due to external factors rather than internal and self-inflicted factors.
Prices were falling before the Brexit vote anyway, and most people need credit from a bank to "buy", so even if people stood out in the rain and held hands and shouted at the sky for prices to stay stable it isn`t likely to happen? Plus many people, a majority even, want house prices to fall.0 -

It really undermines your credibility when you pretend this doesn't happen.
The only question is whether some people think it's happening now.
That's the topic of the thread.
Not sure HPC posters need to make things up, they have had the PTB turn on landlords, and now a Brexit vote, that is pretty consistent with the type of events predicted on that site that were sure to unsettle the market. Both are BIG events, posting a made up story doesn`t really have the same effect on the market, so why would anyone bother, panic will spread anyway if things deteriorate?0 -

They've already been quoted and caught in the act on another thread - linked to earlier on?0
