    I'm only going to buy a £750K house now if I can get it for less than £500K.

    Certainly not going to pay £750K for house that was bought a few months ago for £500K ish.

      If I had 500k to buy a house, I’d just bugger off somewhere sunny and sit under a palm tree being oralized until the recession’s over.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          Still, they trying to make £170K for living in a house for a few months.

          Boomed!

          Feb 07 is nearly 2 years ago, more than just a few months.

            The only houses I have seen going for cheap are ones where someone ended up with 2 places at the same time and is desperate to shift one. Other than that most places are not dropping because the owner will not sell for less than they got the place for.

            Since interest rates have dropped so much nobody is really pressed to sell now.

              You bargain hunters will ruin the housing depression if you can't learn to be patient. It will take a little time before house prices plummet and people are repossessed and left destitute. Can't you just give it a few months before moaning?

                Fair enough - you didn't say any of that in the original post.

                  No. Too left wing and cheery for me.

                      Why do you say that? I've checked all my mates on nethouseprices.com and they're spot on.
                      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
