Housing Market Downturn - Really?!
Comments

All the press and estate agents are doing is stating the blatantly obvious now we have reached meltdown. I wish they were scaring them years ago not when it is too late.
We have reached crash point.
The press do not state the blatantly obvious, they are saying that ALL house prices have fallen 2.5% this week, which is simply not true. If a house price crash happens the media are to blame, because people will be scared into selling. If people sit tight over the next few months, and let the credit crunch pass, everything will stay the same.0 -

Have you ever wondered why we seem to pay more for a bungalow in the UK than a house?
Land prices make a difference, though - if you have 2,000 sq. feet over 2 floors, it takes up less land that the same footage over one floor....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Of course, why would you see any significant falls if few people are selling?0 -

I don't think the press said anything of the sort - they talked about the "average house price" which seems entirely correct, to me.If people sit tight over the next few months, and let the credit crunch pass, everything will stay the same.

Because even fewer people are buying.
