Ramping the market up for the sheople.

daily mail: Buyers tempted back into the property market as house prices continue to fall and mortgage lending bounces back

The first signs of a recovery in the property market were confirmed by mortgage lenders yesterday.
The number of first-time buyers and 'homemovers', or those selling one home to buy another, rose between September and October.
The news comes after figures from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors this week showed the number of househunters has also risen for the first time in two years.

I love the quote "More buyers are coming onto the market - although some are making 'cheeky' bids".

So does that mean that despite the cheeky bids, buyers are coming back into the market ... ? No, it means that only buyers with cheeky bids are returning to the market, much to the chagrin of sellers and estate agents.

There was a sign in my local EA window that said "Thinking of buying? DO IT NOW! Supply is shrinking and demand is increasing!" (or words to that effect).

Yeah, right.
