drbubb Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Money Week: What the builders are telling us about house prices. Shares in builders have dropped over 20% from their peak in late February. Could this be telling us something? By Dominic Frisby Want to know which way the housing market is headed? Take a look at the builders. They’re a pretty reliable indicator. And here’s the thing – having peaked in the spring, they’re now in a bear market that’s starting to look entrenched. Does this mean our great post-financial-crisis house-price boom is now over? It could well be. I should say, I don’t own any shares in any of the building companies and, at present, I’ve no plans to buy any. But I do like to keep an eye on what they’re doing. . . . Something similar happened during the last major crash of the early Nineties. The house-builders told us a bust was coming, the bust came and the housebuilders began to rally long before house prices started to pick up steam. I wrote about this relationship in great detail back in April – read it here. It’s interesting to note, by the way, how far off their 2007 highs many of the builders still are. Barratt – almost 1,300p in 2007; 349p today. Taylor Wimpey – over 500p in 2007; 103p today. Bovis – 1,200p in 2007, 732p today. Compare this to the FTSE 100 which is trading at about the same price (6,754 was the 2007 high and, indeed, yesterday’s close). The Berkeley Group – which is more focused on London – has dramatically outperformed the other builders, and sits almost 20% above its 2007 highs. This reflects Britain’s two housing markets – London and everywhere else. == > more: http://moneyweek.com/what-housebuilders-are-telling-us-about-britains-property-market/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Telegraph: Mark Carney: Bank 'will not hesitate' to cool UK housing boom The Bank of England "will not hesitate" to take further action to cool Britain's booming housing market and stop the economy from boiling over, Mark Carney has said. On the day official data showed the average UK house price is ten times bigger than the average salary, the Governor used the Bank's annual report to highlight the steps it had already taken to prevent people from taking out unaffordable mortgages. Mr Carney said the Bank was prepared to use its so-called macro-prudential toolkit to support these steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chartered Surveyor Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 New highs being achieved in London. Whilst sale volumes are down as are the number of willing buyers or those able to buy at these new highs, there are still sufficient willing buyers. A number of lenders in my view are acting in a reckless manor offering very high loan to values that in turn are pushing values up even further. The London market is not slowing down. Confidence is very high. On another note there has been a marked increase in buyers cashing in and moving outside the M25 within reasoanble travel distance of London. I would expect to see further significant increases in these areas. The ripple effect. Also alot of talk of investors now seeking good yields in northern cities like Manchester, Leeds Liverpool, Sheffield especially ones that have good and popular universities.

drbubb Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 "On another note there has been a marked increase in buyers cashing in and moving outside the M25 within reasonable travel distance of London" A very sensible move, especially if they can eliminate their mortgages, by doing so !

Perishabull Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I away on my travels with work right now and in the gym this morning at 7am was some property programme on TV. I don't watch TV hence usually avoid these things. But really FFS 7am! Another reminder of how obsessed the British are with property. Given the governments perennial mandate for ever higher prices I wouldn't be surprised if they had an unseen hand in this diet of propaganda fed to the general public.

drbubb Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Are ultra-high Housing prices part of a plot by the elites controlling the planet ?? ==== NWO Secret Agenda : Young "not allowed to own homes... kept as renters" (to control them better?) This information, from a 1969 secret talk, revealed plans to stop most young people from Home owningThe NWO Agenda - as revealed in 1969 (excerpt: 11:00 minutes):" People that already owned houses would be allowed to keep them but young people would never be able to afford a home. Cost of homes would not come down even with all the empty houses. They would control the price of homes to turn more and more people into renters.People would be assigned where they would live and they would assign non family members to live with you. That’s why the census asks how many bedrooms you have in the home." Is this the hidden agenda of the BofE, and the UK Banks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 40% of UK Wealth is "False Wealth" says the FT> http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8d5c6ed8-0c0a-11e4-a096-00144feabdc0.htmlThe link doesn't work for me, so here's a summary that I picked up from another website:"Here's the short general idea in my own words...They say more than £3th of assets = 40 percent of UK wealth, are what planning restrictions have added to house prices, they are the ransom that recent buyers and renters are forced to pay to homeowners, this is plunder, from younger to older, from poorer to richer. But if we let people build more houses we turn the false wealth into real wealth of houses and flats, improving living conditions, creating jobs, and making society fairer and more equal."Hmm.I don't entirely understand that.I do "get" that ultra-low interest rates can Pump up house prices to false levels, persuading people that they are wealthier than they really are. We saw that in the US, and many people went out and spent that wealth on things they did not need. When home prices fell, any debt they took on secured by false wealth was still there, when the wealth melted away.I do not get how borrowing against false wealth and spending much of it on home construction is much better than on other items, except that housing assets might be somewhat more durable than many other assets. In any case, there is likely to be a Debt problem when the bubble bursts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueNorth Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Houses are selling like hotcakes in the north of scotland. Prices are definitely higher than before. We are now thinking we should buy, mostly because we are fed up with dealing with intrusive landlords. Our rent will have gone up +10% in 2.5 years, to £1000 by the end of this year. For £200 more/month we can buy a larger, older home, and walk to work instead of commuting by car. I still hate the idea of buying in this overheated market, but I would like a bit of freedom to do as I please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
