    Up, up and away...

    I wonder if Austin "done and dusted at 3%" Hughes would care to comment? Or Desperate Dan McLaughlin?

    How come these two muppets get paid a fortune to be consistently wrong about basic finance and economics, when anyone with any sense (like your humble commentator here ) accurately analysed and forecast this situation 6 months ago?

    How much damage has been done to the personal finances and future prosperity of thousands of struggling young couples because they believed the lies and spin of these two charlatans?

    Aye, the likes of those two should be shot.

    Especially considering that while these "economists" were continuing to talk up the property markets, their employers, the banks and building societies (Jim Power, Friends First) were divesting themselves of their own property portfolios.

    Its the equivalent of insider trading in the property market, facilitated by a compliant media who didn't want to rock the boat because of the huge advertising revenues.

    A generation of young Irish people enslaved to mortgages, and the local service sector dying on its feet as disposable income slowly dries up.

    A disgrace
    1,197 people agree with me.. how many agree with you ?

    Friends First where on Today FM's Lunch Time news still trumpeting a soft landing for the Property market.

    You could just about hear the faint desperate pleas permeate through each syllable....Please keep buying, please keep buying.

    Nobody is buying at the moment, despite all the gimmicks the banks and developers are throwing at them.

    I'm still hoping the Government doesnt bail out the developers by buying swathes of houses at present market prices in a Social Housing initiative. But as we have seen time and time again when it comes to gombeenism and utter contempt for the 'greater good' in the face of nest-feathering FF have no equal.
    Voters don't decide issues, they decide who will decide issues.

    3 Bed Semis are down nearly 1% for the month. On an average 500k Dublin 3bed semi this equals 5,000 in one month which tallies with the title of this thread . There is a lag in the index so these falls don't really reflect price drops in January but a few months before.
