house prices

[Testin da Cable]

We exchanged some thoughts on the pricing of houses a couple of threads ago. Ananova has run an article about some stuff Halifax has dreamed up. There are some numbers in there that may be of interest to some.

I dont think house prices are going anywhere but upwards for the time being!

 

[Shocko]

Actually, logic dictates that house prices will stop going up, and porberbly go down again, very soon.

Put it this way: Everyone who's thinking about buying, knows that the prices must go down at some point, and the most mentioned time frame is about 1 year. Now, because people are expecting the prices to go down so soon, no-one* in there right mind is actually going to buy a house now.

Of course if people stop buying houses, then the prices will drop, hence the rumours on when the prices will drop are making a drop in prices even more likely


*Unless they know something about the state of the market, that suggests houses won't drop.

 

[dysfunction]

Well if that didnt *confuse* you nothing will!

 

[Shocko]

That's a simple explanation...

The most amusing* part, is what happens when the prices start to go down. Since so many people have been buying houses, with the intention of selling them when they're worth more to make easy money, the steady fall in house prices will be turned into a full scale market collapse Allt these people, will put their properties on the market, the moment they sniff a fall in prices - The result will be a fully saturated market, with far more houses than buyers, which will force down prices rather spectacuarly.

It's just like the stock market really


*Well, amusing if you have nothing to do with houses, and you have a slightly sadistic sense of humour

Yes I've heard this from experts, although another bunch of experts say you can't rule out the fact house prices will continue rising.

 

[Shocko]

Are you implying i'm not an expert?

 

[dysfunction]

House prices will continue to rise untill they start to fall.





.............A bit of dysfunctional logic
