But actually, the people I am most pleased for is those who may now start to have a chance to get on the housing ladder - once there's more credit available;-)<BR/><BR/>I also think there's more falls to come. On the day that Lehmans went bust I put an offer in on a house owned by a retired investment banker. It was 20% off his reduced asking price and he turned me down - he will regret that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-33366635115957372212009-01-29T18:23:00.000+00:002009-01-29T18:23:00.000+00:00One of the reasons NuLab hate affordable housing i...<I>One of the reasons NuLab hate affordable housing is because they hate stay-at-home mothering.</I><BR/><BR/>They hate any productive activity they cannot Tax out of existence!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-58240298257345048142009-01-29T17:30:00.000+00:002009-01-29T17:30:00.000+00:00I'm still surprised at how high asking prices rema...I'm still surprised at how high asking prices remain. I remember people in the late 80s talking about irrational optimism on the part of vendors - where houses would sit unsold for many months or years... but, somehow, I expected things to move faster today... in essence, because a far greater proportion of houses have changed hands at preposterously inflated prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-27961186595082642392009-01-29T17:09:00.000+00:002009-01-29T17:09:00.000+00:00Rising house affordability ...You mean ... cheaper...Rising house affordability ...<BR/><BR/>You mean ... cheaper housing ?<BR/><BR/>:-))<BR/><BR/>A good thing of course, you're right.

It will take 20 years for them to crawl back to where they were in 2007. This of course is based on the UK a) eradicating its chav and scum cultures and actually having most people educated and working, b) getting border control under control and the population not soaring with people from the third world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-24707430673634782692009-01-29T11:05:00.000+00:002009-01-29T11:05:00.000+00:00OK, I admit it.
