[havent read the article thats just my view not meant as a "tip" obviously!!]. Spot trading at 811 as i write.

The price of houses as measured in gold peaked in 2004, and the average age of a First Time Buyer also peaked that year at 32; it's now down to 29 again (source: CML). This suggests that the housing market peaked in 2004 and since then it's all been inflation.
