The Time to Buy property is Now

HappySad

I have read the fool article now & it makes sense. No one really knows whether houses will go up or down so if you can afford to buy now then BUY & ask for a big discount on the purchase price. If you wait then you may risk being priced out to the market (again).

What if you don't get the big discount?

= Wait and bide your time. Prices are not about to shoot up any time soon.

It's quite simple danny. This is a great year to buy property because you can negotiate a decent discount from those who are desprate to sell.

What helps nobody is members who post crap hoping for 50% falls.

Ho ho ho would you like brandy butter with those words?

As I said I plan to buy next year. I currently cannot afford to purchase now but I will start looking in the new year and see if there are any deals to be made. Our family would like to move to a different area which cost more. So I have calculated that prices need to drop by another 20%. I will see if anyone wants to drop their price for a quick sale.

My mother did the same thing in the beginning of the last recession. She traded up to a much nicer house is a great area by being able to move quickly when a person who's business had gone bust needed to leave the country quickly & therefore wanted a quick sale.

Looks like it's sparked some interest nonetheless:D

Usually a sign that there is a lack of negative press.
I am going to drag up all the posts from 6 months ago when people were warning of 16% interest rates. I actually believed they would drop to 2/3% and i know generali would vouch for this.

I well remember telling you all that interest rates would head towards zero and that the pound would drop accordingly - several months ago. Seems I have been proved right yet again. Unfortunately, due to mass post deletion, I am unable to find the exact post I made, but from memory I'll type it again.

"I believe zero rates by spring 2009, and pound less than a Euro. I also think Woollies might have to close, and I wouldn't touch an Icelandic bank with Kerry Katona"
