House market - how low will it go?

I reckon the collapse in house prices will be long and drawn out over the next few years starting in the next 3-6 months. I think we're entering our 2nd ever depression in history. Which would put the bottom of the market equivalent to the bottom of the stock market. 40% seems right, but if the stock market drops another 30% - panic.

Do we think the UK will continue to pursue self inflicted economic sanctions at the year's end with everything that's gong on? If so, I'd put a collapse in price closer to 60-70%. By 2023/4 you're going to be sweating bricks at that fixed rate mortgage you took out in 2020."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

That aside I must admit I do have to agree somewhat. Maybe not the figures you are quoting but most defiantly going to be a painful period.
Why do you think people will be sweating bricks about fixed rate mortgages though?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Not only that but a ton of folks increasingly moved to fixed rate products over the past few years - it is public record. This will create an event around 2023 (Watch the big short!) as they mature and folks will find themselves looking to borrow in a market where no one is lending on anything less than 40% LTV after a crash in prices. It is a nightmare scenario.
As of September 9th 2019, the number of mortgage sales (PSD) in the United Kingdom (UK) stood at just under 570 thousand for the year. As it stands, full year accounting of mortgage sales in 2019 is likely to be far below than that of the previous year. Of these, the vast majority were taken out with fixed interest rates.
