PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! 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.

I don't know if you're being stupid or just argumentative. Your original question implies the former.
Unfortunately my friend you seem to be the stupid one.

As I've said before, supply and demand is a result not a cause.I believe that house prices are set by affordability and sentiment.
Affordability is a result of wages, lending criteria, interest rates, living costs and many other things.
Sentiment is a result of newspapers, TV, the bloke down the pub, irrationality, etc.
You really are a muppet. :rotfl:0 -
