    I think the answer is:

    Whatever happens, the house you really want is out of reach.

      The panel seems quite optimistic. House prices still look a bit stupid though. I saw some very average looking semi-detached houses for 400K recently. Not that I am looking to buy.

        I reckon they've got another 20% left to fall

          You can never lose on property. It only ever goes up.


          I know this as all the vendors I've been dealing with tell me and my offers (close to asking price) are all turned down flat.

          And then the property sells a few weeks later.

          This bull about house price falls is just media lies.

            They'll drop substantially after the swineflu pandemic.

              Not necessarily, it's a commodity like any other.

              Does that include actual figures from the Halifax, HBOS etc showing 20% falls?

                My models suggest that over a 24 month time horizon from January 2009 they'll be around 8% up on where they are now; but they'll have dropped further first.

                  I really don't care, I'll still be living where I am!
                  I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
