5 thanks for anecdotal garbage....

Anecdote isn't garbage, it's just datum not data. You can't extrapolate from it.

I like anecdote on these boards - it's a bit like the 'human interest' story at the end of the news, you don't learn much but it's a bit of light relief.

Since you think there is no house price crash, I suspect you might end up believing that.

Oooo, I knew this guy was going to be good reading

I glad you finally agree, no crash, property just worth what it is sold for.

How's this for an anecdote which I'm sure you'll just ignore in your own, slightly disturbing way...

2 bed property in North London (heard of the area?), on the market for 320K, which it would have sold for pre-crunch.

Agent phones me yesterday, telling me they're willing to take 250K.

Crash, what crash?!!

That's what's happening in the real world, not inside your pickled head.

Gas, electric, water, food, fuel not really going up - just being sold for how much they're worth.

Great - that's boom&bust and inflation sorted, next please...

Its early days of the crash at the moment. These downturns go on for years so if at this stage people believe it isn't crashing thats fine with me, they will have plenty time to change their minds in the months and years to come.

What I can say for certain is that we have had the big jump in property prices ever and now we are have the biggest falls since records began. I believe this is as a result of the media revolution which previous house booms and busts didn't have. Its going to be fun to see how things pan out and who is right in the end.
