The Nationwide survey shows prices down by 0.9% in August 2010 and annual inflation down to only 3.9% that is a massive fall from 6.6% in July. This is very disappointing news but at least they say in their press release that they expect interest to remain at 0.5% until well into 2011.
I am thinking that if rates remain low then at least we can pay off our debts and be in a stronger position when rates go up. Hopefully they will go up only gradually so we will have some breathing space to decide whether we can afford to hold onto the rented property. Trouble is if house prices fall too much then we will have no safety net and will be in a very difficult position.
That is an extremely smart written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and return to learn extra of your useful information. Thank you for the post. I will certainly return.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that much interesting, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
