    I don't think house prices will fall when your high street bank will pay you to buy a house....
    Don't forget, if you take a mortgage at negative interest, if in a couple of months/years, the interest start going up and up you still have to pay your mortgage (and the interest)...

    2008 was just a minor blip down. The last proper crash was 1989 that took about 6 years to recover. From 1995 it took about 3 years for prices to double to 7 years to treble.

    I hope there will be a crash rather than a blip. Young people deserve it.

    You know when you get to the bottom of the bowl of cornflakes and the last few are soggy?

    That's the EU for you.

    But in this case was being highlighted as a good thing coming out of Brexit...

    A small 'crash' (correction) on house value can be fine and even healthy to some economies, drops over 10% start to be very dangerous...

    To be fair, prices are only flatlining. Son perhaps this is only slightly good news.

    Hopefully there will be a crash soon.
