    Carolt however is really REALLY annoying in her constant undermining of my values and choices and belief that I am stupid or 'do not' understand.

    Glad its not just me then that has noticed her playground tactics of belittling those that have a different opinion to her.

    Are women not to be the more mature out of the human race:rotfl:In jest ;)

    Hi

    I like this forum and have found it informative. I can't believe that posters who are buying now are not getting stick in the "real world" from their "real" friends and family?:confused: If any of my family and friends told me they were buying now I would try and dissuade them from doing so.

    almost every single time i post on the house price forum i get ripped into usually by posters such as yourselves who feel the need to put me down because i don't believe that house prices will crash over 50% this year

    the hpcrashers on this forum easily outnumber those such as myself who feel house prices will fall between 10 - 20% this year

    How fast you've changed your tune! 6 weeks ago, on 8th April, you said:

    i just can't see houses at the £120K level falling in price to £102K though

    which, of course, would be just over 20%

    In Feb, you said

    yes the trend is definitely towards tighter lending because house prices will stagnate over the next 4/5 years (real terms falls) so obvioulsy theres a bigger risk to the lender

    You also said in Feb:

    ive posted loads of times that i believe prices are coming down

    i just don't believe that we'll see 20%+ falls

    but as i keep saying all my comments exclude flats


    and also:

    however i think were in for a market price slowdown where prices on average do not go up or go down over the next 5 years...they kinda just stay where they are......1% up 1% down 1% up 1%up 1 % down etc etc etc

    Jonbvn is right. If I could be bothered I'd create 100 IDs and thank him/her with each one. Unfortunately I can't.

    You could at least try:D :D:D

    strange how it's the bulls who have been most abusive in the past, who are crying foul now

    one poster on this tread now, actually had a trolling abusive thread started by them completely removed not so long ago.
    It's a health benefit ...

    im confused nds

    you quote me saying

    i just can't see houses at the £120K level falling in price to £102K though

    which, of course, would be just over 20%


    (thats in line with my other comments of 10 - 20% falls this year)

    ive posted loads of times that i believe prices are coming down

    i just don't believe that we'll see 20%+ falls

    (again thats in line with other comments of 10 -20% falls this year)

    the last comment was in relation to inflation catching up (i.e. wages will increase whereas house prices will stagnate - therefore making housing more affordable) - and yep i admit i was out on this - but you can't re read this post - its out of context as too many posts have been deleted

    did you have fun trawling through all my old posts?
