While we are being told that the property market is
completely shot yet another bit of data has come out to support the opposite.
Rightmove have said asking prices have risen by 1.2% in the
month of February.
This is completely against the trend of what we are led to
believe. Also the number of properties
placed on the market was 75,000 compared to 137,000 last year. Here is the report:
It is really obvious to see what is happening. No one needs to sell anymore! Rates are so low vendors can hold out. Also with the lack of properties coming on to
the market there is a question of supply.
I think this quantative easing is working. I do not want to speak too soon but you
cannot help think that when there are millions of homeowners paying next to
nothing on their mortgage we can all simply wait for the recession to blow
over.
So,
Stage 1: reduce rates to zero has nearly been completed
Stage 2: printing money is about to be completed
Stage 3: Jobs being created by Government to fill employment
gap about to be released
Stage 4: Banks being forced to lend imminent
Could this whole thing be over? I reckon it might be......
