Sell Your House Fast During the Credit Crunch of 2009
By James Lee Thomas
The UK property Market 2009 – 2009 is going to be a difficult time for the UK housing market. This is also reflected in the overall global economy, especially in the US and many parts of Europe.
It is possible that there will be a deep recession with negative growth and repossessions continuing to rise throughout 2009 and 2010. The end of 2010 may show small signs of recovery, but this will not be at the levels properties have achieved over the last 10 years. Unemployment and consumers who are spending much less will continue to have a large contribution on the housing market throughout 2009 and 2010. Confidence will also remain very low and expectations of the housing market taking a turn for the better will be few and far between.
Some say this is mainly due to the media coverage, Television, Radio and newspapers, but the fact remains that we are heading for a global recession, possibly for the next two years. It is still relatively difficult to obtain a good mortgage in the current market, and this, added to the fact that first time buyers are holding back, will only fuel the reduction in house prices throughout the country as demand continues to decline.
Many people are predicting that house prices will drop by 25%-30% over the next two years. We have already seen significant price reductions over the last 6 months and if this is anything to go by, the predictions may be true. House price forecasts are very difficult and we are entering into an unchartered crisis in the overall UK property market. The Bank of Englands rate cuts may help to get the industry moving but the main cause is that there is not enough money moving between the banks to meet the demand.
The number of new houses being built in the UK has also reduced dramatically, and this is only set to decline further as developers stop or reduce the amount of new properties they are building. Many house builders are completing existing works but are just sitting on land owned until the property market recovers.
Although interest rates are very low, there is a chance the economy will get worse and it is most likely that unemployment will continue to increase and the housing market will remain extremely weak throughout 2009/2010. This lack of new build properties being built may help to fuel the demand in the property market once confidence is back in 2011. But this is some time off and anyone trying to sell their property may find themselves looking at the estate agents board out front for some time.
