rantnrave Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Lots of new (and bearish) articles over on EA Today: Low transactions have become the new reality says Hometrack Nearly half of consumers say houses are overpriced And... Anarchists smash windows in rage against all EAs Comments on this one from Friday are still coming in: Get real on house prices Rightmove tells sellers Edited July 25, 2011 by rantnrave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Tulip Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have been wondering how long it would be before EAs became the target of people's hate in a more physical way - I am thinking of the anti-capitalism, anti-banksters types.

Brave New World Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 As Always RnR great work on EA Today – you always strike the correct HPC balance between the cold economic reality and not being too HPC militant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pent Up Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm on the EAs side on the anarchist one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Tulip Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm on the EAs side on the anarchist one. Yes, I agree. It is a squatter story isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantnrave Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Yes, I agree. It is a squatter story isn't it. Not totally. From the article and the anarchists themselves: Our actions last night were an expression of our rage against all estate agents and all others who profit from people's need for shelter. For those who profit from inflating rent prices and benefit from rising instability and the increasing lack of control in our lives, we have nothing but rocks and anger.

Venger Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Nearly half of consumers say houses are overpriced RnR thanks for the link stories. Hope you don't mind my correcting one of your links as yours went to the low transactions story. Nearly half of consumers say houses are overpriced Shipside winds me up with his price paradox. Shipside I can wait and wait and wait. I don't have to accept buying at an excessive price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
