I want a crash so bad it makes my gums ache. But I've discovered in life that the more I want something, the less it is likely to happen. And yet I cannot see a crash because of a) tight supply, b) descending interest rates, c) the UK property obsession, which may take years and years to repeal. I'll be an old geezer before I can buy another home, looks to me.Prim Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551655829890572559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-89073621663377229362007-12-21T15:09:00.000+00:002007-12-21T15:09:00.000+00:00Speedy, you have a "pwoperty pwortfolio" dont you?...Speedy, you have a "pwoperty pwortfolio" dont you? :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-49982227300363044372007-12-21T14:25:00.000+00:002007-12-21T14:25:00.000+00:00Speedy lad, I don't know who you've been talking t...Speedy lad, I don't know who you've been talking to, but interest rates are coming down all around the world, that isn't stopping house prices tanking in all these places.<BR/><BR/>USA, Spain, Greece, Bulgaria (crying out loud, I can a fixer up there with 1/2 acre of land for less than I can buy a garden shed from B&Q!!) <BR/><BR/>I wont even go into Japan, as although their interest rates were less than zero, their property prices have fallen over 60% from the top, and their country has 100% employment and they're a nation of savers!!<BR/><BR/>What chance do we have when our entire industrial base is selling each other insurance, double glazing and cutting each others hair?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-30525611004544083272007-12-21T13:59:00.000+00:002007-12-21T13:59:00.000+00:00It'll never happen here until interest rates go up...It'll never happen here until interest rates go up drastically.Prim Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551655829890572559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-46684329632649071302007-12-21T12:54:00.000+00:002007-12-21T12:54:00.000+00:00The Irish bubble has been outa control for years. ...The Irish bubble has been outa control for years.
