Thread Name: BS: House price crash in the UK?
Subject: RE: BS: House price crash in the UK?
The timetable for a price crash for homes that were inflated at twice (or more) their actual value will be at a time when most of the mortgages are half paid.
That way banks can get full value on the house, foreclose, resell and double their profits.
Its sort of a have your cake and eat it business model.
In short it should take another 7 years to maximize the banks advantage for homes that were 7 or more years ago on 30 year mortgages.
Of course a bubble burst about now for 15 year mortgages would already be in the banks favor.
