Too late. Carney's got a useless toolkit, unless he risks assassination by raising base rates considerably, and, oh yes, THE BUBBLE IS ALREADY 20 YEARS OLD!

zugzwang Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 In circus lingo a 'mark' was the chalk imprint left on the back of a naive and gullible punter by the front of house man to identify him to other stall holders - or carnys - as a superior target for fleecing. The Carny's Mark signified you were as stupid as hell but also loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spp Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 - First-time buyers paid a record £190,000 to get on the housing ladder. 190,000 / 3.5 = 54k Scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renting til I die Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 But David Ruffley, a Tory MP on the Treasury committee, said forecasters always expect a ‘benign return to equilibrium’ and fail to predict the cycle of boom and bust. Well at least there is one person who understands how speculators affect markets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

“Nasty Piece of work” Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 George, in order to buy votes, has blipped the accelerator 6 months too early, and his Gimp is trying to guide it in. It will go tits up for the toad, thankfully, and his Gimp will crash and burn too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Banner Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Well, ****** me, the Daily mail using the words "housing bubble". What's more, the two guest reviewers gave the impression that they thought the government is pumping up a house price bubble to create a feel good factor ahead of next year's general election.

Neither accepted and one of the houses has apparently had over a dozen offers. I bet the other one has had quite a few too. Not London.

tomandlu Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Prince Charles says "It's not sustainable". Well, if he's struggling... It does appear that dear George has overestimated the public's appetite for HPI. During last decade, the party was pretty good. People were getting a bit too pissed, but they weren't tired yet and the host always had a line of charlie standing by. Now everyone's shattered and worrying about the kids, since the babysitter will have left hours ago, and the drugs don't make anyone happy any more - just ragged.

spyguy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 No problem with a house price bubble. 100% OK with it. No worries. What worries me is if the house price bubble is backed by a mortgage debt bubble. We're totally f-cked as the credit cycle is turning. We have the highest private debt in the Western world (maybe bar Denmark, which is tiny), we have the worse budget deficit in the G7 (8 that was). The acknowledged public debt is rapidly approaching 100% gdp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is not quite right. Estate agents 2nd hand house salesmen must think their numbers have come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Are you panic buying ? All the houses round here have "sold"..most of them 4-5 months ago and are still sat there. Something is not quite right. Estate agents 2nd hand house salesmen must think their numbers have come up. Lots of sold and to(i)let signus up around here in the s/w. 3 out of 12 of the late 20's something girlies in the office panic buying flats in Clifton, Bristol as they will never be able to afford one otherwise. They have talked themselved into buying damp ridden, crumbling Victorian Shitholes that are for more than £30k than people were asking last year. Hey-ho the sun is shining until it rains.

crashmonitor Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) They are using the ONS data for January which was release on 25th March for their 254k average house price. Not sure if that was ever linked on here............. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/dcp171778_356066.pdf Edited March 27, 2014 by crashmonitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
