And what's the betting that July was even better?

http://uk.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUKL925629120080729?sp=true

"Approvals for home loans in June hit their lowest since records began and retail sales fell at their fastest pace in at least a quarter century as a housing market downturn threatens to derail the whole economy."

"Approvals in the three months to June stood at just 134,000, well below the 191,000 low recorded in the fourth quarter of 1992 when the country was in the middle of the last housing slump."

About bloody time, too!

Hold onto your hats, please. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a long way down.

Things. Can only get bedder err er!

July and August will be excellent months for the HPC as the Yoy coincides with the peak of 07. Happy Days!

I've also enjoyed the recent 'revelation' of the shut down of the internation debt market and return to banks only being able to lend from savings, although this is of course being twisted as a bad thing.

Fionnuala Earley probably isn't feeling lucky - by the sound of things in the FT.

House prices falling at an annualised rate of 19% - and accelerating. That's what we like to see.
