Ten year rise in house prices is now 56%.
Compared to 100% in 2007.
So the HPI ship does appear to be sinking slowly.

As I say, its sheer fantasy.
Still, June 9th is only a few weeks away and we can see if twit1234 and Thrugelmir's predictions come to pass.
Somehow, I doubt it
You are just licking your lips at the prospect at being able to say "ha, you were wrong" arent ya!!! It's like a continual countdown to your big event!0 -

Have never made a prediction.
Just forecast the general direction.0 -
Actually, the article only predicted a 50% drop in real terms, i.e. including inflation. Given we had 14.5% cumulative inflation over the last 4 years and a roughly 20% drop in nominal house prices, it's not that far off.0
