I’ve chatted to a few people on the forum who see this thread as a bunch of smug cunts gloating about how much their house is worth while pretending to moan about it not being worth as much as they hoped. Their response to it is along the lines of fuck off you privileged prick, at least you’re not stuck in perpetual rent.
I kind of agree that we should be focussed on how people go from renting to home ownership and providing the wisdom of our experiences to that process rather than spending time on consoling people having to drop their price because of a slow market. I do have sympathy for that but when you look at how much it has still gained under your tenure, you have to admit that the drop you are experiencing now is not the end of the world. You can recoup the drop by passing the reductions to general house prices up the chain.
