That's a pretty good statement from PSN - sales volumes up 5%, sales value (volumes x price) up 10% for the year.

OK, could be more, but within the context of media hysteria, some facts which state that volumes and prices have risen around 5% is encouraging. Now that the headline news about the CSR is out, people can assess their own circumstances more clearly, and with tentative moves by the lenders to increase business, the outlook is far from negative.

the housing market has fallen.
but it does not show up in the figures.
sellers try for stupid high prices then give up and rent.

The amusing thing is the likes of IHS global and capital economics have been calling a 10% minimum drop in house prices for over a year now [same as all the other bandwagon riders]and it hasn't happened.Just like how the property market was going to collapse 2 and a half years ago and actually went up.

Some of them are intent on making their predictions come true and are feverishly talking the market down.They've had all the help they could ask for from the media and still the resilient housing market doesn't capitulate.

Maybe we are now at the point where some of these 'experts' start being contrary and going the other way.It is all just a game to them anyway.They get paid whatever happens.

Property market 'will rise 16% by 2014'
By Adrian Lowery
10 November 2010

Homeowners fearing a property slump could take some succour today from a report predicting house prices will be 16% higher by the end of 2014.


The Centre for Economics and Business Research expects the property market to only edge up next year, appreciating 2.2%, as unemployment increases on the back of public sector cuts and household incomes remain under pressure.
But it expects house prices thereafter to gain momentum from low interest rates, Bank of England cash injections and the shortage of properties in the UK.

The forecast is considerably more optimistic than ones from many other economists, with Howard Archer of IHS Global Insight expecting house prices to fall by 10% during the coming year, while Capital Economics still expect a 20% slide in property values between now and the end of 2012.

It comes as recent house price data has given an uncertain picture of the state of the property market. Halifax last week reported a sudden 1.8% rise in the average cost of a home in October, after a massive 3.7% plunge in September.

Nationwide earlier reported its house price index fell by 0.7% in October, due to a lack of buyers, knocking £2,400 off the average price of a home.

Douglas McWilliams, chief executive of Cebr, said: 'Quantitative easing is a very powerful medicine and is likely to have a strong impact on the housing market eventually.

'House prices may not move much during 2011 but they are likely to rise significantly in the following three years on the back of quantitative easing to offset the impact of the fiscal retrenchment.'

The group expects house prices to end this year just under 7% higher than they started it, at an average of £179,411.

Sluggish growth in 2011 will be followed by stronger increases of 4% in 2012, 5.4% in 2013 and 4% in 2014, to leave the average property costing £208,816.

Cebr said a decision by the Bank of England to embark on a fresh round of quantitative easing would reduce long-term interest rates and help to boost mortgage lending.

As a result, it expects the number of mortgages advanced each month to rise from its current level of just 47,000 to around 77,000 by 2014, although this figure is still below the peak of 119,000 reached in 2006.

I wonder if this is a way the govt realise they were too harsh in their Austerity but without admitting they were wrong, they create schemes such as above.
