If you're buying a house to have it as your home, a home that you'll keep for a long time, you don't give a crap about how much it's going to be worth in say 5 years.

Normal people don't always see everything as an investment in which you absolutely need to have a return.

People buy houses because they need houses.

It’s not like 2007. More like early 90s.

I want to move now, but am waiting till the Covid/Brexit catastro**** has done its work.
