EssexFTB Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The more i come on this site, the more it is becoming an economics forum. I know economics give off vital indicators as to where the house market is heading but house price threads are starting to dwindle in the shadow of CPI, RPI, NR, Bear Stearns etc. Personally i'am here to keep tabs on House prices and look at the hard evidence, when i say hard evidence i mean Mortgage Approvals, Nationwide, Haliwide and LR Data. When is the next batch of figures out in Regards to House Prices etc? Does anyone feel like they are getting lost in a middle of an economics forum? Maybe its an oppurtunity to start a www.commoditiescrash.co.uk or a www.goldwillgothesamewayasproperty.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can really discuss one without the other. Without the concept of mortgage backed securities and other such opaque financial instruments, lending would not have got out of hand and house prices would not have been able to soar as they have done.
