This really is one of your more random unconnected musings - and that's saying something!
Cheer up, Trashy, it may never happe... ... Oh, I forget, you've been wanting "it", whatever the megadisaster is, to happen for the past gazillion years. ... and learned nothing in the meantime! :rotfl:
{.. and yet, on another thread, I actually agree with the miserable curmudgeon! Must go and get some more pills....}
Most sellers will encounter offers lower than they would like now, that wasn`t happening a few years ago, people can squawk all they like about how great the house is and of course they like the price, but if the bank values it lower that is it for most people.0 -

Some of them in positions of power and responsibility unfortunately.

yes crashy time and the result is no new houses on the market in my defined area. I have been looking for two weeks and will be a serious cash buyer when I view, however the seller will never know because I will be silent, unless I have questions. I will have done my homework, very thoroughly and will never be a time waster.
People are too twitchy to make that move. Personally I will sell at whatever price sells my property, I am realistic. I suppose a sellers or buyers dream but they don`t know it, they are all in their bunkers and I am not selling, until I have bought one first, so the market remains, stagnant0 -

Yep, but a "stagnant" market in anything does not benefit the financial movers and shakers, so they will have to make it move in one direction or the other, so as we have had the "Boom" (I would call it a disaster for ordinary people really) we now need the opposite (insert word of choice here)0 -
with a bit of luck and a fair wind, there will be some stamp duty incentive to encourage large house owners to downsize, maybe that will shake things up. The market is so quiet now that there will be an almoighty release of built up pressure in due course0

Yes, and that will be a thing of beauty to behold indeed!0 -
I saw 1 house only from outside. Offered on another in the garden after 5 minutes and bought the current one after 10minutes with no agent details as a private sale.
Location, location, location.
Anyone who brings a tape measure to a 1st or indeed 2nd viewing is ridiculous in my book- you don't judge whether buy a house based on whether your sofa will fit.
An agent one told me that if viewers start talking abut where to put their own furniture they never buy- they are just trying to justify viewing/be nice.June challenge £100 a day £3161.63 plus £350 vouchers plus £108.37 food/shopping saving
