It’s all looking good for my savings!

You’ve got to feel sorry for the VIs. Advertise higher market prices, get another rate hike. Advertise slumping prices, buyers flee.

Yes, looks good for savings – as long as your bank does not go bankrupt !
James says:
The jump in mortgage approvals also makes more house price rises imminent!

I will be a first time buyer in the UK when prices have crashed in a couple of years. Be patient. Time is on our side. The more they delay it, the bigger the drop. The only way it will continue is if people are allowed to borrow even more. Multiples of 7 or 8 for instance. But then this will cause an ever bigger drop 2 years after.
