expect the dow to fall back to 12k,and no share will be spared.

Btw, Taffee if your conviction of a house price crash is strong enough why don't you short the House Price Index? Acts as quite a good hedge also if you ever do get a foot on the ladder.

I have an achievable target here of £2.40 in 2years, and will be a buyer all the way up.

Taylor Wimpey makes good start to year
Taylor Wimpey has enjoyed a "strong first quarter," it said today (April 17).
Reporting on 2014 so far, the volume housebuilder said that it had increased its total order book volume by 13% to 8,139 homes against the equivalent period in 2013. The order book value rose 33% to approximately £1.6 billion, with average private selling prices lifting 22% to around £248,900.
Taylor Wimpey said it had experienced a strong spring selling season, achieving an average private net reservation rate of 0.75 sales per outlet per week for the year to date against 0.66 at the same point of 2013.
Over the period, the firm helped more than 1,600 customers to take advantage of the Help to Buy equity loan scheme. It expects average sales rates for the whole year to be "slightly ahead" of 2013.
Chief executive Pete Redfern said: "The UK housing market remains buoyant and our customers continue to benefit from a more accessible and affordable mortgage market.
"We have made a particularly strong start to the year, working successfully with local communities and authorities to convert c.4,800 plots from our strategic pipeline."

Biggest threat atm as most on site will know is supply of materials and increasing labour costs as was touched upon in the statement today. Raw material importers and manufacturers need to seriously up their game if government have any hope of getting the quantity of houses built that they aspire to over the next 6-7 years.

The consensus with my associates is that it has a good few years to go yet before we need to "beware" of a "nightmare bubble".

I am a fan of the help to buy shceme and think its doing its part in getting the housing market moving again.

Long on this one, after the recent pull back, can't see it going below £1.00 more likely £1.25 plus like a few of the others have predicted.

Mr £450k now in the money and not a sold sign in sight. Lol!

[knocknock] 17/4/2014 12:44

Funny thing is the chap that bought £450k of stock earlier will probably nick his 10% in the next week or two without the aggro of buying half a street in the valley and having to sit on them for two years.

[knocknock] 17/4/2014 11:58

Yes, and we could get nuked by the Russians.

Good luck with that...let's see how it all pans out....this is a credit
Bubble of monumental proportions which is why rates were dropped to near zero

The only real example.of what happens next is Japan where some property
in Tokyo fell 90% and general property has been falling for 22 years

Taffee, we are in a cycle nothing more nothing less. I have seen four house price corrections since I bought my first house back in 1987 and each time they are less severe than the previous and each time house prices go on to exceed the average prior to the correction. You won't know when the correction is coming as it is clear from your posts you probably have little experience or time served in the property market, IMO 2016 will see a minor correction of 10-15% followed by newer highs with a crash circa 2021 with perhaps a 30% correction but as always this will be regional and will no doubt see your neck of the woods suffering the most.


Last in , first to be wiped out. Same old same old!

[taffee] 17/4/2014 11:27

It's all about what's going to happen next...the mkt is telling you
It thinks things have peaked and could turn nasty...be careful

[the juggler] 17/4/2014 11:18

You are not so far away! Nice to see a bit of movement at last, passed a new Sold sign yesterday. The TW estate here all sold now I believe

[sr2day] 17/4/2014 11:11

[tipjunkie] 17/4/2014 11:08

Neath

from a fairly low base as kk suggests eg the 80k terraced houses are now 90k

[the juggler] 17/4/2014 11:06

Tipjunkie I am in the Vale of Glamorgan - I would say prices steady to +5% here on average. Where are you?

[taffee] 17/4/2014 10:56

It's all phantom money that only exists if you cash in....Property
Could easily fall 50-80% in London like Japan...and never recover in
20 years

Many have been remortgaging on the basis of phantom wealth

[tipjunkie] 17/4/2014 10:53

house prices have gone up 10% during the last year in the small welsh town I inhabit

[knocknock] 17/4/2014 10:52

Panic buying of houses hasn't even begun yet.

[knocknock] 17/4/2014 10:51

Toffee, I presume you are from Wales and not enjoying the so called bubble. Shame that!

[gbh2] 17/4/2014 10:41

The probability that it will be "managed" (at least up until the next election) is why I'm still holding :)
