    house prices

    well just looking in the local paper and i seen this house up for sale, its the same house i was looking at buying before i brought this one, it was on for to much money for me but a very nice home,this was 4 years ago next month , this house was then £124000, its on the market now for £114000, so just a few months after this house was sold the recesion hit, i think in 4 years losing £10000 on that house is not bad with what has happened i think, what do you think

    You'd barely get a plot for a cardboard box in London for that price.

    Aaah those happy memories of all the houses I used to own before I met the ex...and that would have been paid off about 10 years ago.


    Oh well, got to be positive about what the future may hold.
