hurlerontheditch Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Annual house price growth recovers to 1.5% in July Prices up 1.7% month-on-month, after taking account of seasonal factors, reversing last month’s fall Stamp duty holiday likely to provide further support in the near term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantnrave Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 These trends look set to continue in the near term, further boosted by the recently announced stamp duty holiday, which will serve to bring some activity forward. However, there is a risk this proves to be something of a false dawn. Most forecasters expect labour market conditions to weaken significantly in the quarters ahead as a result of the aftereffects of the pandemic and as government support schemes wind down. If this comes to pass, it would likely dampen housing activity once again in the quarters ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the real dawn will come when house prices go back to costing a few years of wages again instead of 10-20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winkie Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Quote annual house price growth recovered to 1.5% .....not a good return considering what it costs to keep/maintain a house for a year....net loss......could do better. Like cars, own and use it expect real depreciation.......nobody should be buying a home as an investment, buy it for what it can do for you, not on how much it might or might not make you......

Buy a new TV that is worth nothing in a year or 2. A new sofa when 2nd hand furniture is worthless. Odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repayments are rock bottom, so from a renters point of view BUY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simhadri Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 This is temporary rise before market returns to normal in next April. Not good idea to buy now unless you think house prices won't fall more than the savings you make in stamp duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called it at the time. Also the poll at the bottom of the page "Including the effects Brexit, where do you think average UK house prices will be relative to now in June 2020?" There are some wildly wrong answers (not withstanding June's land registry figures aren't out yet). Perhaps even for a site called house price crash people seem overly optimistic about the potential of falls given past government action.

Insane. Banking giant NatWest Group has put aside another £2.1bn in case more people and firms default on loans because of the pandemic. That meant it reported a £770m loss for the first half of 2020. Last year it made a £2.7bn profit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53605531 Natwest's, still being the lurching oversized beast, left over from Fred's gogo year, is more representative of UK economy. Nationwide is the last man standing of the UK building societies. Since 2008 its took on more n more crap borrowers, chasing margin. NW lending book is going to be in much worse state than Natwest's. The prime borrowers NW used to lend to are paying off their mortgages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btd1981 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 The government are so obviously invested in maximum Brexit as soon as possible that they're going to look pretty stupid if it causes an economic catastrophe that turns everyone against them. I think they're too proud not to do everything within their power (and maybe a little more) to prevent it. Long-term I think it will lead to disaster, but in the short to medium-term I'm not so sure. Just look at all the billions being sprayed around at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
