The obsession with house prices continues unabated.
The banks have all camps right where they have always wanted them, worrying about the welfare of BANKS.
Poor little darlings!

Good. Only when house prices (and rents) get back to reasonable proportions of income will this country have a future.

In other words those with the biggest mortgages expect (are hoping) prices will rise modestly because they thinky they’re worth it.
The first interest rate rise should sort any positive sentimentality out once and for all.
