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. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Yes, so why ask it again? Besides you’ve posted on the wrong board. You want the Debate House Prices and the Economy board. 
    That board has been closed since March 2020
    Yes, it has been - and what does the closure notice say?

    "Please do not post content intended for this board elsewhere in the forum"

    So...?

    Going back to the OP's question, there's only one guaranteed accurate and authoritative answer that will cover the entire country...

    If you cross my palm with silver, I'll tell you whether house prices will go up and down. Guaranteed 50% accuracy rate.

    I can do better than that. I'll guarantee a 100% accurate prediction. In the laughably unlikely event that I am incorrect, I'll return your fee.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    And? That’s where these threads about debating house prices and asking people to gaze into their crystal balls belong. Whilst closed that board specifically asks people not to post threads intended for it elsewhere on the forum yet people won’t stop clogging up this board asking people what house prices are going to do as if we can predict the future. 

    This is not directly aimed at the OP but every single poster who starts a thread asking for house price predictions and speculation which seems to be happening on an almost daily basis now. 


    Thus demonstrating significant unsatisfied demand for such a board.
    Perhaps Martin could capitalise on that by offering  such a service behind a pay wall? (fondly remembers the old Monty Python Paid Argument sketch.)
    That was a contradiction sketch.  :)

    Time is an abstract, relative construct, so it is impossible for it to be up, or for that matter, down.
