APHRODITES - it could also be the handle to the cup. It all depends on what you want to see.

[aphrodites] 06/4/2011 09:22

This has all the makings of a 5-wave downward sequence which could see the price back to 34p. But not in the right wave sequence for me to short quite yet.

But I would not be long of the shares.

Howard Archer continues to do his utmost to talk down the UK housing sector.
Spouts the same stuff almost every other day or so it seems.

By Jason Douglas
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

LONDON (Dow Jones)--U.K. house prices declined in the first quarter of the year and are expected to fall year-on-year in 2011 as a whole, mortgage lender Halifax said Wednesday.

Halifax, a unit of Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LLOY.LN), said prices fell 0.6% in the three months to the end of March, compared with the final three months of 2010.

March prices showed a modest improvement when compared with February figures but were 2.9% lower than a year earlier, the biggest annual decline since October 2009, the lender said.

Martin Ellis, housing economist at Halifax, said the 0.1% month-on-month rise in March could be explained by an improvement in U.K. employment levels. But an uncertain economic outlook and stretched consumer finances are likely to limit demand for homes throughout the remainder of the year, he added.

"Our forecast remains for a 2% decrease in house prices in 2011 as a whole," Ellis said.

Howard Archer, chief U.K. and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said he expects house prices to fall closer to 5% this year, citing a squeeze on incomes from a government austerity drive and higher interest rates.

Bank of England policy makers meet Wednesday and Thursday to set the U.K.'s key interest rate. The bank has maintained its benchmark rate at a record low of 0.5% for two years and is expected to keep it steady again this month. However, dissent among its nine policy makers is building, and investors and many economists believe a rise in the key rate next month is likely.

Halifax added there are signs that a decline in house sales appears to be stabilizing, albeit at a much lower level than historic norms.

Figures published by the Bank of England March 29 showed the number of mortgage approvals in the U.K. were more or less unchanged in February, compared with the previous month, at roughly 47,000. Halifax said this is about 60% lower than the number of approvals four years earlier.

The U.K. government announced a series of measures in its March budget designed to support the housing market. A scheme that helps first-time buyers purchase a newly-built home by providing a chunk of the large deposit that mortgage lenders are currently demanding will have a limited impact, Halifax said Wednesday, as it is aimed at only 10,000 households.

Every time I buy this it falls!!! Last time I bought at this level it went down to 25p!! Well at least I reckon below 40p its a bargain so the more it falls the more I will buy!! :-))

Citigroup Downgrades Three UK Housebuilders
0607 GMT [Dow Jones] Citigroup downgrades Barratt Developments (BDEV.LN), Taylor Wimpey (TW.LN) and Redrow (RDW.LN), all to hold from buy. While the brokerage does not change its fundamental views on the UK housing market for '11 or '12, thinks the sector share prices may pause for a while. Says Barratt and Taylor Wimpey have performed very strongly in the last three months, and while they still trade below sector averages thinks the balance sheets and track records warrant this. Cuts Barratt price target to 135p from 170p, Taylor Wimpey to 48p from 53p. Meanwhile, says Redrow continues to look "a little rich" in relative terms against peers. Cuts Redrow price target to 135p from 156p.

[barf2] 05/4/2011 16:01

That 40p is like a friggin' magnet!

[shaws37] 05/4/2011 16:00

Getting a hammering. Hopefully it's because of the year end tax.

[sparrowhawke] 05/4/2011 13:11

top up , this has got to be tremendous value and the leading stock in the building sector , 50% plus before year end min , money in the bank .

[wendsworth] 04/4/2011 12:26

shaws37 ; I think this is a really good share to trade at present. If you also trade them up you'll make your profit .As to 80p + ..I'm not so sure. Certainly 50 to 60p range is a given for this year.

APHRODITES : Hope you bought back in early this morning. I don't see much further weakness in the lead up to the agm.

I'm sticking to my 45p prediction for this month!
