I do not see any benefit in saying to people "its temporary" or list it for 20% over and see what happens. If we are right and its about to fall then someone is going to have respect for saying we will sell your home but the market is falling so get in there and be aggressive. I do not know Foxtons that well but I hear they are proactive with sales and pricing, it would be good if this went the other way out of necessity. but maybe their model only works in a rising market and they are doomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they were to put survival first, they'd go for the jugular at prices and make the market moving. However, they are EAs and you can't change their nature. Most of their employees are probably brainwashed and have only been on the market for a few years. I reckon they'll go under/get swallowed in a consolidation before they see the light.

They do this even when in their heart they know they have little chance of getting the promised high price, FOMO rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Ted Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Rye bay are out having held a 1.9% short. Blackrock also down to zero from over 3%. https://shorttracker.co.uk/company/GB00BCKFY513/ Maybe Osborne, who now advises at Blackrock, has an idea of what's in Wednesday's budget. Short covering doesn't appear to have helped the SP though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
