V shaped recovery underway

[Menelaus]

Wonder what the graph would look like were it seasonally adjusted though.

A mate who is an estate agent is a lot busier than they were, but still having difficulty in actually doing any transactions.

still uber-tight mortgage lending, meaning that first-time buyers are still being kept off the ladder.

I'll make money out of anything

[Shimano105]

Even by my tight standards, there are some properties coming on now (probably distress sales) that look good value.
In case this is really a sustainable V-shaped recovery (unlikely but possible), I wouldn't want to miss out, so probably will hedge by buying one flat now and keeping the rest of my powder dry till later.

Did you not scoff at me last week for buying a house?

Yes you were BORROWING money to buy a house with DODGY documentation.
I am doing neither.

hth

ps Tell me you're not going through with that?

I'm only buying at a big discount. No discount, no sale.

I'm currently looking to dip a toe back in to the property market - not sure its completely bottomed out though.
Looking for a couple of flats to buy in a decentish central area of London south of the river.

...an alternative is the stock market, particularly Asia. Japanese manufacturing jumped 5% last month, if that isn't a positive indicator I don't know what is. As one commentator pointed out, this isn't a green shoot it's a tree.

Property coming onto the market seems no cheaper than 2007 and sells within days/weeks.

I'll guess I'll have to wait until this (bigger) bubble being blown up now pops next year and bankrupts the UK government.
