Nothing but a lie. Property prices have definitely sky rocketed with an average rise of 50% in 2006 but rental returns are very poor (hardly 2%). Copare this with the IRs on home loans which is about 10% (12% for fixed terms). There's a huge speculative bubble growing up in Delhi.

People are losing money even today when media is telling us that house prices are rocketing. I have seen quite a few houses coming to the market at asking prices same as the prices they were sold at last year. Believe me there are many forced sellers and they are losing money even in this booming market.

Sorry can't you see what's happening in the US? Has their dollar printing press broken down?

Sorry how do you know they all have been sold for asking prices? An agreed sale usually appear on land registry figures 3 or 4 months later. How do you know what's going on in the market in the last couple of months.

What great fool people are making of themselves here. Wages rises?? What about rising taxes, rising commodity prices etc.? I have noticed that taking taxes and general inflation (barring house price inflation) into account my wage growth has been negative in last couple of years. And I am a highly paid IT prof

July House Prices Soar At Fastest Pace In Two Years
Firangi replied to a topic in House prices and the economy
Prices around me (Birmingham/Solihull) did not go up at all in last two years. Similar houses selling for more or less for the same prices and many of them now offering fitted kitchen, fitted bathroom, wooden laminated floors etc. Activity definitely picked up around spring and early summer (may, june) but the market is completely dead in last one and half months. Heaven knows which part of the island prices are going up. -
I Know The Bulls Dont Want To Hear It But.
Firangi replied to hedi's topic in House prices and the economy
So it looks like the return of 2004 now. One estate agent I know who was selling 10 to 15 properties per week until early summer this year has only sold 10 in last two months. -

At The End Of The Day, Hpc Bears Still Want To Buy Houses
Firangi replied to Londoner's topic in House prices and the economy
I own two houses, though not in this country. Both of my houses have gone up significantly in value ( against fiat currency) over last few years which I am not smug about. I don't want to see crashes, recession, depression etc. But I want to see house prices coming back to reality world over. I have no desire to buy anyother house in near future. -
Why Is It Just Around The Corner Now?
Firangi replied to renter1's topic in House prices and the economy
Everything you have said is right. IR cut of aug05 was seen as an assurance by the Joe public that BOE and this govt has a job to save this housing market. Without HPI there's nothing in this country. How can this govt let this market die. etc. etc. Every house buyer in 2006 I spoke to had the same arguments. But with the last IR hike Merv has opened their eyes. Wake up sheeple -
Ft Hpi July Index - +5.4% Yoy, +0.2% Mom
Firangi replied to Jason's topic in House prices and the economy
you need to be a blind to not see the truth for yourself. Crash was underway in late 2004 and early 2005 until the mischievious and illconcieved rate cut of aug 05 came in, which Merv himself accepted as a mistake. I am quite convinced that with the last IR hike and a few other in pipeline gains made in last twelve months will be wiped off soon. -
In my area a couple of houses are 'for sale'/'for rent' both. Owners are trying their luck everywhere
-
Sheeple until BBC, Haliwide etc. tell them that the house prices are going down. This morning only a colleague mentioned that he read somewhere house prices are rising at 8%, so he is expecting to make another 50 grands in next 3 years.

why are you so bitter then? eh??

ICICI bank is very good. I have saving accounts with them here as well as in India.

Firangi replied to lagos36's topic in House prices and the economy
