That poll was in Dec 2007. It's now March 2009 and we're about 17%.
So my guess of 20% was an underestimate.
30% in the 2 years from 2007 is about right.Hard Brexit now!

Can't remember the show on TV last night, think it was the news.
"Houses were losing £100.00 per day"
Soon I'll be able to buy something for cash

I still think they will drop, but not enough that would put me off buying at the moment, probably summer.
I have made quite a bit by moving to renting in summer 2007.
The gf convinced me to put a 495k bid in on a house in Dec 2007, we missed out by 200 quid, the sale fell through and the house eventually sold in Dec 2008 for 416k. That really was dodging a bullet.Comment

If anything like the last crash (and I think this is a worse one) prices won't regain their peak value for years. IMHO you won't lose anything by sitting it out for a couple of years, if anything you will be hurt by getting back in too quick.Originally posted by minestrone View PostI still think they will drop, but not enough that would put me off buying at the moment, probably summer.

Looking in the various forums and stuff they seem to be saying that land prices are dropping faster than plots with houses on them.
I think I'll start scattergunning sellers with ridiculously low offers next month - I mean 30 or 40% or even 50 % less than asking.
Maybe one will bite and I'll get my building plot now rather than having to wait a few years....maybe I won't....Comment
