    I think if the following all go down in price then house prices might go back up again.

    Oil -
    Petrol (or diesel)
    tax on higher CO2 emission cars
    Food including rice, wheat, milk, eggs,
    Gas
    Electric
    Water
    Council Tax
    the average amount of interest paid on mortgages

    I have a bit of a mind blank at the moment - i'm sure there's more to add.

    just heard US have cut rates down to 2% and houses dropped 13% YoY

    I reckon we are about 12 months behind US in general on house prices

    Buyers hoping for a crash could well miss out on reasonable deals right now. It wouldn't surprise me if the market takes a sharp upturn in June...

    I wouldn't be suprised either. I'd be absolutely and utterly astonished.

    Have you looked at mortgage approvals recently? They are very low, and until they rise, no chance of even a dead cat bounce.

    So no chance of the 'investors' doing them for misselling then?
    Bet they are sitting pretty somewhere nice and hot right now.

    Their very own circle in hell, I hope.

    Continued HPI will help the banks out of their current mess as they last thing they want is a load of repossessions. A small steady rise of a few percent a year over the next 5 years or so is what is best. Small rises will let wages catch up and stop so many ending up in negative equity. The small rises will also reduce speculation. That way those with 95% mortgages will be around the 90% mark at the end of 2 year fixes rather than 100% or more if prices fall.

    I think you are utterly, completely and totally wrong.
