Re: News just in - man with vested interest says Perth property market recovering

I love the way the vested interest people try to butter up the suckers by alluding to "wise folk", the "smart money", etc.

Re: Has the housing market really dropped that much in the UK?

Hi Hudd,

I appreciate what you are saying, but I wasn't talking about the average house, I was talking about "nice".

It's very subjective, but what you could get for 200k in this area is...

Re: Has the housing market really dropped that much in the UK?

I think it was the Sunday Times a couple of weeks ago. It contained a lot of blatant property ramping stuff.

Articles in the Times regularly jump on any item that could remotely be interpreted as...

Re: Has the housing market really dropped that much in the UK?

I like Mouse Price, which includes sold house prices from the Land Registry database, and the map provides a great birds-eye view of individual houses, from four angles. The problem is the time lag,...

Re: Has the housing market really dropped that much in the UK?

In my view, the Times has been one of the worst offenders when it comes to printing "now is the time to buy" propaganda from the real estate industry.

There appears to have been a concerted effort...

Re: 12 year old daughter now says she doesnt want to go to australia any advice??

Haven't read the whole thread, so someone may have said it already.

In my experience, one of the most common problems in situations when parents drag reluctant children to the other side of the...

Re: Australian Economy: Do you think the government now has its head out of the sand?

Sounds like just what we're looking for, but I can only offer you about 60% of what you'd like to get for it:D

Re: Australian Economy: Do you think the government now has its head out of the sand?

Good point, anyone would do the same (I know I would and have done).

Human nature being what it is, regulation is needed to make sure it doesn't all get out of hand, and govts need to make sure...

Re: Australian Economy: Do you think the government now has its head out of the sand?

Too much debt is the problem here Lorraine. More lending/borrowing will not solve the problem, it will exacerbate it. Although viable companies should have access to working capital, trying to prop...

Re: Has Britain 'Had it's day'?

I like your tabloid-style sensationalist use of the word "slaughter", when "killing" or "murder" would have sufficed.

Sorry, couldn't resist:)

Re: Has Britain 'Had it's day'?

You could argue that those living abroad have their rose tints on, in much the same way that those in the UK waiting to move overseas do about their destination country.

Re: Has Britain 'Had it's day'?

Not worthless, just closer to a sensible level.

I've been looking at houses around here (Gloucestershire), which is why I find it all so frustrating. Sorry you had to be on the receiving end, but...

Re: Has Britain 'Had it's day'?

Why would anyone recognize such a point? It's not that I don't want to. It simply doesn't make sense.

Just because you have the money and are in a position to buy, it doesn't mean that prices...

Re: Has Britain 'Had it's day'?

From your words, it is clear that your fundamental position is that falling house prices are bad, negative, a crisis, etc.

Did you also criticize the property ramping media that helped drive...

You said that the weak property market is being compounded and made worse by a negative media, from which you can infer the things that you say you never said, ie, falling prices bad, ridiculously...

Alternatively, it's being portrayed as bleak because that's how it really is.

Just watched the BBC news. They reported the British Chambers of Commerce's assessment of the economy, using...

Re: Has Britain 'Had it's day'?

Why are outrageously overpriced properties considered a good thing, and falls to more reasonable levels bad, and getting worse? It's only that way if you're a property speculator.

Are you an estate agent?

I think the view that this is a minor blip and somehow things will return to "normal" is mistaken, especially when this normal is seen as shoddy, cramped houses priced at...

Re: Returning to UK now - good idea?

Sorry, didn't mean to rant. But it's a subject close to my heart:)

In any area, I think people would be slightly insane to buy right now at anywhere near vendor's asking prices. A lot of people...
