Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostIt's also difficult to know how much activity is being delayed until after the referendum and whether the drop in activity following the BTL stamp duty changes will reverse. Based on valuation measures, the SE is primed for a crash (whereas much of the north isn't), but ridiculous valuations can persist and become even more ridiculous before they finally crash. The increased media reports about relaxed lending (e.g. 0% mortgages, extending loads to complete at 85) provide good anecdotal evidence that we're late cycle.
As above, even with the asking price reductions I have seen only take us back to asking prices last year.

Though saying that, you still have a point -in 1999 when your graph starts, the FTSE100 was at 6900. Today it is at 6100.
