i think we have a 100% chance of a crash very soon, the signs are there ow.
I reckon at least 40% drop in prices, thats why we sold our 17 BTL last year..

Interesting opening of this debate! What is the likelihood of 20% rising steadily over the coming months? - Very high, I think! - 50% by the end of the year, IMHO!

Hang on. A year ago the probability was 5%.

Therefore ... is this now going to increase? 40% this time next month perhaps .... ?

Hmm, reminds me of Alan Greenspan predicting a 20% chance of the US economy going into recession this year.

IMHO, Wall Street turns sour in the next 2 months and the US is in recession by year end, dragged down by mortgage rates resetting and confidence evaporating.

Tin hat time for the UK property market.

Well last year I would not have expected there to be 1056 properties for sale on Rightmove within 3 miles of my house.
But there are now.
I'm spoilt for choice! ... well I would be if was intending to buy anything.

Predictions?
What goes up will come down. You don't need a percentage for that! :-)
