House prices - Crash?

[The Late, Great JC]

No.

But I was installing a fiendishly clever piece of technology from Lidl (the store not the planet), namely a cheapo free to air satellite system, and discovered that my wall ties really really really do need doing.

The cracks look much more alarming from close up.

When they're big enough to crawl into, that's the time to worry!

Bought my house for cash too.

Then I ate the vendor.

At least you didn't eat the house.

[Lucifer Box]

Yes, it is true. I have found myself pretending to show an interest in a neighbourly discussion about house prices - eventually the glazed eyes tend to give it away and someone say, "oh, I forgot, you don't have a mortgage do you?". That seems to make you some sort of social pariah in some places.

Lucifer Box: I bought my house for cash also, but have you noticed, but not to upset the neighbours you have to talk about mortgages and interest rates?

It is bad enough with having a collection of quite fast cars, but rubbing it in with the "no mortgage" thingy is pushing it...

Whatever has happened to DCJ

Perhaps he was one of Milan's bots as well? Perhaps we all are?

Anyways, I bought my house outright for cash and have no intention of moving, so I don't really care what the market does. Mind you, a crash would be good so I could buy some repo place and fill it with student nurses.

In that case the other eight posts were wasted too.

[Dundeegeorge]

No no no

makes it far too salty.
A friend told me.
Ahem.

[xoggoth]

At which point in that does shagging the goat come in? Forecasting and eating are complete wastes of goat in my opinion.

[xoggoth]

That graph sure is convincing. Convinced me totally anyhow. In absolutely every field of everything you can think of, from weather to extinction of the dinosaurs to economics, what is always the most reliable indicator of the future?

a) Opinions of experts with a vested interest?

b) The past?

Ooooh that's a hard one!

On a not entirely unrelated note..

We're doomed, all doomed.

House prices will increase by 25% pa forever.

I just don't know any more. Nice to see the house price threads back though. Anyone care to update us on what it's been like living in a hedge for the past year waiting for prices to crash?

Whatever has happened to DCJ, haven't seen a posting from him for ages.
Is this due to
A. his mum has finally twigged he's been on the net while she's
been errm, dallying with his 'uncles' and has put a stop to it.
B. Sunspot activity causing a break in the transmissions between
Earth and Pluto
C. He's been too busy flipping burgers?

I think we should be told.

Terrifically well constructed, and I am sure it gives all our desperate renters a stiffy, but factually correct? Hardly!!
