Nationwide House Price Index June 2014

[Martin@AS Financial]

Key Points:

UK house prices increased by 1% in June and were 11.8% higher than June 2013

Prices have surpassed their 2007 peak

All regions saw annual price gains in Q2, South of England continues to outperform

However:

“The annual pace of growth in the capital will probably start to slow in the quarters ahead, given the high base for
comparison from Q3 2013 onwards and given anecdotal evidence from surveyors and estate agents that activity may be starting to moderate."

The trouble is the bubble could last another 15 years, can you afford the opportunity cost of not being in?

And it's not a bubble until everyone forgets it's a bubble. Then and only then can it go *pop*.

Can you afford 15 years of negative equity?

Check out the Swedish economy - we are 12 months away from it IMHO
