You had better get a mortgauge quick before the boom starts again. Buy now while they are cheap the chance will not come again etc etc etc.
If they could get away with it this would be a self fullfilling prophesy. IMO there will not be enough money around for them to pull it off.
They will never give up trying to sucker peole into buying at these inflated prices. They are very happy that you will be enslaving your self into a lifetime of donating all your disposable income to your lords and slavemasters. The council for Mortguage lenders.
