      Only if it kills enough to flood the market.


      PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CHANGE THAT AVATAR.
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

        No, because most people that are house-owners are over 30 years of age and swineflu sadly concentrates on the youngest amongst us.

              Do you ever grasp even the most basic of ideas?
              Prices (and markets) are driven by the difference between supply and demand. When demand is high and supply is low prices go up and vice versa.
              The demand in the housing market is created by new buyers wanting in. If they are all killed off (according to you) then there will be no demand. Those wishing to move up the ladder will not be able to get a decent price as there is nobody lower down the ladder to sell to. As the old folk pop off the top of the ladder more properties become available and the price falls.

              Get it?

                Might push house prices up. Those currently sharing faced with the possibility of planning to avoid future mutations might want to buy their own place .
