A small celebration

House prices: Welcome to the bust: Guardian

This is linked to in the previous article but worth a post for its return of the VIs' lame serves. Of course we all knew this already, but always good to see in the newspapers.

Priceless!

"House prices have fallen for seven successive months, the longest run of declines since the Nationwide index was first published during the property crash of the early 1990s. At an annual rate, prices are now down by 4.4% - the sharpest fall since late 1992. Over the past six months, prices have dropped at annual rate of 11.4% and over the past three months at a whopping 16.1% annualised rate. Both represent more pronounced drops in selling prices than were seen in the early 1990s"

How sentiment can change overnight... this can only fuel exponential panic selling. Several people I told to sell-to-rent last year are now starting to take notice.... too late.

You can only make mega bucks in a boom-bust market... Roll on the bust (oo-er) and lets do it all over (cue benny hill music).
