It's all lies of course. House prices are going through the roof. Buy now before it's too late.

Checked out the site in a little more detail for my area. One good reason I know why those places don't sell is because of developers and there new builds, which do not sell for the big sums they'd like in histroic towns. You cannot re-create history, which i think is part of the reason it is so expensive to own...

Someone reducing an inflated asking price down to a realistic one proves absolutely nothing.

Only actual selling prices are useable in determining which way the market is going. And then only for like to like houses.

Surely if the market is indeed booming at an ever increasing rate as all the stats say, there is no need to reduce an over-inflated price as the market will rise and pay the asking price?

In other words, set your price and wait for the boom to catch you up.

true, but everyone else knows you're a greedy beggar and give you the two finger salute while they look elsewhere.

According to the Land Registry figures quoted in today's Mail in most regions of England house prices are at best static or falling. Only London & the SE are they rising

Oddly, the Express today has a completely different take and everywhere is booming

Time to buy to let. You can cover 75% of the mortgage costs, don't worry if interest rates rise further, you can put the payments shortfall on a credit card. Don't worry about the glut of rental properties and falling real term rents. It will all be made up in the equity rises which will go on forever.

Meanwhile people live in these over priced houses at subsidised rents, you couldn't make it up!
