Sawitcoming Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Russian buyers down by about 50% but slight increase in Chines buyers. What really is going to be the fallout from all the chaos in China? Will Chinese buyers evaporate due to losses or increase seeking safe haven for they dosh?

smiley Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Very interesting that prices AND volumes fell - it suggests prices have much further to go. A very small sample, but then so is a canary in a coal mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the Chinese have any dosh after their stock market tanked. Also the government there is extending the ban on large sales of shares...

Sancho Panza Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) This is what I wonder, too. Could go either way I reckon - interested to hear if someone has a strong argument for one or the other. The loss of volume is the key thing here.60 is a decent size sample for a postcode,15 most definitely isn't. Problem for Chinese buyers is weakening yuan obviously unless they've already offshored.

Problem for Chinese buyers is weakening yuan obviously unless they've already offshored. Volumes detached from price around the time of HTB ( and FLS pre-election splurge )....at some point they are going to meet up again and the more volumes fall the more prices will eventually.

mattyboy1973 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Problem for Chinese buyers is weakening yuan obviously unless they've already offshored. I think that's the conundrum. Buyer power down with weakening yuan and falling stockmarket, so maybe less available funds - countered with any offshore investment being more appealing as a store of wealth in those circumstances. One may balance the other, or one may overwhelm the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latterdaysinner Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Without wishing to be set upon as a Troll by the noble Count, it's worth pointing out that a drop in the median transacted price can happen if the fall in the number of higher value transactions is greater than the fall in the number of lower value ones. Actual price falls are more recent than the year to date. The crash is only just getting going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual price falls are more recent than the year to date. The crash is only just getting going. While this may be true, it is good to be having pro HPC headlines in the MSM. When the MSM report the glories of HPI forever, I don't think that they are concerned with the finer details of the underlying data. What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander as they say.

Sawitcoming Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I know a guy who just sold a flat in se15 bought in 09/10 for 150K for 450 today. Even at a 50% crash, that would still be 75K profit. I want to see it, but it's not going to happen. But its going to crash by 60% to get back to fair value. Thats would be a 30k nominal increase not factoring in costs. That sounds more like a sustainable reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawitcoming Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Who says it's going to crash? It could rise another 50% by then. Never underestimate what the powers will do to keep the plates spinning. We all form an opinion based on the available info. Mine is that it will crash and from where we are now 60% would be a correction. I do not underestimate the plate spinning abilities of tptb. however I think even they would welcome a correction now and will do little if faced with a correction.

Notwithstanding the word "within", I don't classify 4.14% per annum as "soaring". "Almost keeping up with predicted wage inflation", perhaps.

TheCountOfNowhere Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 in didn't even need to look at who was posting those comment, I could feel it. Back to work today boys? Estate agency closed for Christmas was it. 4% increases now after 15 years of 5, 10. -20%, 20% rises and still interest rate are at a three hundred near low. Sales volumes too still half the normal levels and they've been propped up by foreign money and god only knows what promises the government has made to the Chinese. Sure prices can go up 50% but we'll see the £5 loaf before that. Some parts of London now down 20% in 12 months, sale volumes plummeting, the Russian Ruble has collapsed and China is going to be toast quite soon me thinks. We're staring a massive recession in the face and we've still not mentioned the mess Europe is in. the only thing that will stop London prices collapsing in Santa clauses magic elf dust.
