Realistbear Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/House-prices...ENTH.3873874.jp House prices fall for SEVENTH month in a row Property gloom SHEFFIELD'S housing market is struggling against falling prices and wary buyers, as property values across the county drop for the seventh month running.

Realistbear Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/busi...agent_shuts.php Estate agent shuts By Marc Meneaud Keighley estate agent Inman Residential has closed down after 29 years in business, leaving two people unemployed. All the residential properties under the care of Inman have been transferred to The Green Partnership, also based in North Street, after a deal was reached on Sunday. A message written by owner Barry Inman on his website simply reads: "It is with deep regret that I have to advise, after 29 eventful and interesting years, the time has finally come to close the office . And another one bites the dust..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 down south this time http://www.thisisbath.co.uk/displayNode.js...;pNodeId=163047 "However, estate agents say the Bank of England will need to cut interest rates again to stimulate greater interest." Clearly the BOE will be wanting to stimulate greater interest for sellers in the Barth area. clueless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadd Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 "And he predicted the market would stay static for the foreseeable future. "If you accelerate to 1000 mph down a hill then ease off then you're speed is static....but you're still going down hill rapidly Er, if you accelerate to 1000 mph and "ease off" the accelerator your speed is still 1000 mph (excluding frictional loses.) That's certainly not "static" (Tip: imagine being hit by a brick wall coming towards you at 1000 mph - how "static" do you think that would feel?) What has become static (i.e. zero) is your "acceleration", not your "speed". Your's, Mr Pedantic Nomadd . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Converted Lurker Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Good. I hope there are many more to come. TBH Spoony I can't celebrate whenever I hear of job losses. Unless you adopt the DIY approach to sell buy a house you need an agent. Hearing of someone in business for 29 years, who may not be a sharp suited shark, going out of business is sad IMHO. Let's not forget that the tentacles of this economic downturn havn't even begun to spread/stretch, when they do just imagine the jobs carnage and potential for disquiet/unrest. its not just the severity it's the speed which will take many by surprise.

Very amusing... have a look at the Ralf's Rag, it is a PDF.. scroll quickly through it by sliding the scroll bar with the mouse (past page three) and you will see that he has done a clever trick with the pictures of the houses, by overlaying one on top of the other, see if you can see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bart of Darkness Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sheffield one of the first bright spots? It's not often Sheffield and bright spot are mentioned in the same sentence! I still don't think that asking prices in Sheffield even remotely resemble reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Hale Berry surfacing from the sea this place curls the toes as it pours out its ejaculate and rubs itself down with a fluffy, dry towel. Suit investor with a grudge.
