Buyers market yet? Houses
Been to look at a few.Thinking about offers now and how much of a Bar -steward to be.
One seller actually said something along the lines of 'I quite accept it is a buyers market and we are very flexible indeed on the price'
Obviously not a poker player

Start low, you have nothing to lose at the end of the day. They can only say no.
House aren't shifing at the moment so if they're are desparte to move they may consider any reasonable offer.

The South has suffered slow growth in prices whilst the North and Wales have rocketed ahead ....... its the Souths turn I think for a surge.
Either that or the North/Wales will collapse .... the differential needs to be maintained but it's a level playing field at the moment.

Might be an idea to hang on a bit let the recent, and predicted imminent further interest rate rises take their toll on the market. Most economists expect rates to be over 5% by the end of the year.
Also you should keep an eyes on the US housing market. Many predicting it is in the early stages of a crash (theyve had 17 straight rises in interest rates!), and if it does crash its likely to have a huge impact on the world economy as a whole, and theyre by far the worlds biggest consumer.
Like us theyve been spending money as their houses have increased in value, fueled by cheap money..
But hey on the other hand Im sure the usual posters will turn up and tell you to "BUY BUY BUY while you still can
- prices only go UP remember!!!"
