When should you get back into property?
For a decade, investing in property looked like a dead cert. All you had to do was buy property and then sit back and watch it soar in value. Then the great crash of 2008 came along and ended the property boom. For a while, it seemed as though prices would never stop falling.
But now it seems they have. According to most measures, house prices are starting to tick higher again. Some pundits even expect them to end this year higher than when they started. So should you get back into the market?
No. The current rebound is a ‘dead-cat bounce’ as stock market traders might put it. Several factors point to the crash restarting in the near future. The simple fact is that houses are still just too expensive, and have a lot further to fall.
