By official figures yes.
There'll be a lot of ups and downs over the next few years. The real crash has been in paper currencies due to the trillions printed.
Lots of scope to make a lot money if you think about it.
I think we'll see a big tick up or down after the next election, depending on who gets in / hung parliament.
Lots of big tax rises and job loses then too, and that's when UK property prices will take a big hit.
I'll pile in on UK property at that point. Until then it's move your cash around the currencies and gold game.
Buy buy buy!
bye bye.Comment

GfK estimates that about 3.8 million people are now paying more on their mortgage than their house is worth..."The reality is that if there are further job cuts, the problem will become significantly worse."...The report came on the same day that Nationwide, Britain's biggest building society, said the fall in property prices was continuing apace, with average prices falling a further 1.8 per cent in January, taking them back to the level they were in April 2004.

The big dip is coming in 2011/2012 when big corporates are unable to refi their debt because the ratings and the data on which a refi package would be built is so volatile as to be thoroughly misleading.Comment
