50%deposit Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) anyone know what effects this great weather will have? its making me depressed and desperate because i suck so much, but i dont think im the only one. will this great weather cause people to do rash things? spend more than they have, go for that boat/holiday/car they wanted and will that be the straw that breaks the camels back? with all this great weather i feel that i should be doing something and that will cost money, and if you dont have money then all you can do is spend your savings or use the credit card. also, how will it effect people trying to sell, surely they are already under alot of pressure and maybe going mad. conventional thought says the summer is supposed to cheer people up but they dont mention the other side of the coin. I think summer weather increases tension and people flip, one way or another. Also it might make people happier to part with their property for less than they initially wanted, the feel good factor. any thoughts?

Could be that they totally forget their worries and have a great time, result being that house prices will not fall as readily, but im thinking that the great weather will drive up peoples desperation. They want to move right? To move to the next stage in life, the new room for the new kid. And the summer will just bring home their inadequacy. I went to view a property, it was a tiny newbuild semi house and they had a kid about 1 year old and basically the kid slept at the end of the bed in a cot, but they needed a house with an extra room. What im saying is that the summer will just be the trigger to make that more urgent, and as such drive up their need to move and so make them consider lower offers. they are getting desperate, an emotion driven by great weather. Great weather means you have to be moving forward, and if your not it can be pretty frustrating. this thread is about the effects of great weather and summer on house prices, not about how much i suck, which lets face it, might or might not be greater than the degree to which you suck.

50%deposit Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 doesn't anyone have anything to say about the effects of summer on house prices? i think the summer can drive people insane, it has a different potency to winter, in winter admitting defeat is easier, but in summer theres no reason not to be a winner, but if your not then its damming. what do house sellers think? Surely someone will buy my house, why is no one buying my house? What do they think each day? What do they think when a person comes round to view it? And what effect does the summer have on that. summer releases vitimen c and drugs in your body that make you feel good, apparently, but all i can see is a mad rush of people trying to do stuff. they are mad, they are impetious, they seem to be irrational. the outsoors was there before in the winter? why now? again, i think that people really want to be growing in the summer and if they are in the old house they cant grow, they want to be in the new house, they want to be going forward. i dont underatand it which is why i did the thread but i know theres something to it.

ccc Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I think the weather does have an effect on house prices. Annual 'Spring bounce' being the prime example. People just feel more confident and happy. More likely to buy that new car, set of golf clubs or even a new house. The 'F#ck it - why not' attitude is helped by a bit of sun and short sleeves.

Losses might not look so bad when the sun is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it might make people happier to part with their property for less than they initially wanted, the feel good factor. any thoughts? Yep, I think there is solid truth in the "feelgood" factor caused by the weather. The current Spring Bounce in housing activity is a good example of that. Of course, many equally idiotic factors come into play, like "hey, the bank is giving me poor interest on my cash, so I'll go and throw it all away on a depreciating property", but that's the stupidity of people in this country. Redundancy? Nah, that just happens to other folk; I'm safe;my boss loves me; etc., etc. All you can do is keep the faith. Once the weather turns, and the reality hits home, it's going to be a pretty bleak picture going forward. The government bailouts can't/won't last forever.

Errol Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 In many ways the good weather actually reduces consumer spending. When the weather is good people are less likely to be in the shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
