Although Anne Ashworth doesn't directly say it out loud, it doesn't take a genius to work out who she's talking about...housepricecrash

This week Halifax reported that prices were unchanged in January; these statistics followed Nationwide data which revealed a decline of 0.1 per cent.

This pro-crash lobby accuses the economists at Nationwide and Halifax of publishing figures that give a falsely optimistic view. Journalists who report these numbers are deemed to be either mouthpieces for lenders or determined to support the value of their own property investments. The motives of this online fraternity that longs for the human misery produced by a market collapse are a mystery. Perhaps they hope that if they spread sufficient gloom, their rantings will become a self-fulfilling prophecy?

It's been made clear for a while now that the general consensus on HPC leaves a bitter taste in my beautiful mouth, so it's always nice to see some form of retaliation. Afterall, all they ever do is attack...attack....attack...


The problem is, perhaps self-fulfilling prophecy is happening...Even if the "housing crash" is all talk, it becomes very real when enough people start to talk. That's the problem.

But let's be real, i've said this all along; people on HPC have been predicting a crash for years. They can't just wait for it to happen after so long, and claim it was a good call.

If you say anything is going to happen for long enough, one day you'll be right. Even my therapist thinks that's true, so it must be right.
