Marketing with property videos is a lot more easier than you think and certainly very economical. Simply film the property you wish to sell or rent and upload the video to your computer where it will then be ready to upload to a host of video websites such as YouTube, AOL Videos and OneStopView. These sites are all free to use and really should be your first port of call before you investigate padi for websites whom would rarely get the same amount of traffic.

A property video could cost you less that 2 hours of your own time and could save you thousands in marketing costs. For more professional videos choose a local videographer who will film and edit a managable sized movie for you and even help with uploading.

Another dagger (hopefully) into the high priced property market is that average interest rates are on the increase (And will continue to increase) despite the BoE reducing the base rate down to 0.5% over recent months. In January 2007 with the base rate at 5% the mortgage rate was 6.20% and now despite the base rathe shrinking to 0.5% the mortgage rate has rised to 6.23% !!! The main reason for these high rates is because the people in the know (apparently) are well aware of the current house price market and feel prices have some way to fall yet.

People say it’s all negative talk, but it’s reality. House prices are too high, first time buyers are out of the market, the plug is conituining to be pulled from the housing market.

It is quite clear what is happening in the housing market. Prices nearly trebled from 1997-2007; there is a correction taking place and the bottom will not be reached for some time yet.

If news reports filter to the media that there are ‘grass shots’ then these will inevitably come from those with vested interest in property and property gaining in value. As a buyer I would recommend that you wait at least another 6 months before you buy and even then you will still see a drop in house prices for another year or so. We have yet to see the market bottom out and remain flat, then will be the best time to buy.

It is greatly predicted that house prices will continue to fall well into 2010, a further 10% than figures of present. There is not be any kind of recovery until 2012.

The Council of Mortgages Lenders recently released figures showing a nearly a 50% drop in mortgage approvals at the beginning of this year compared to last year. This goes inline with decreasing mortgage options, rising umeployment, more repossessions, more bankruptcy etc, etc. First time buyers are drying up at the bottom of the property ladder and the chain above them is weakening. Yes, Halifax did their best to stimulate interest in the property market by recentl releasing headlines that houses are now affordable more than ever, “Housing affordablility has trebled since prices began falling 18 months ago”. But are the Halifax just staing the obvious?

If house prices have fallen, then why would they not become more affordable? Would it also be correct to state that house prices will be even more affordable in 18 months time?

Whatever the future holds, it would seem that house prices are due to fall even further to go inline with demand and affordability. Banks are more regulated now days and there are very few lenders out there which offer silly rates of 10 x your salary borrowing, we are now looking towards more sensible lending rates of 4 x salary borrowing…. obviously house prices must accustomize themselves to this fact.

Estate agents will no doubt yell from the roof tops on the slightest hint of positive news from the housing market, but my suggestions is to take your time and compare. What is on the market today is very much likely to be what is on the market still next month and even cheaper!

I am seeing increasing cases of Swine Flu globally including a rising number of cases in th UK. Will this lead to further down falls in the economy should the out break worsen? If everyday fears aren’t enough, the public are cautious to walk their very own streets breathing the free outside air without the concern of catching a life threatening disease.

In the UK the is no doubt a weakening confidence in the property market and despite those trying to claw on to varied notions that there are grass shots appearing, then general slide is down for average property prices. Will the added effect of a worsening virus entitled ‘Swine Flu’ add to the nations misery and lack of confidence?

Watch this space should the outbreak of Swine Flu worsen globally, there will be effect on worldwide markets and property prices….

Prices were allowed to spiral upwards at too faster rate on the back of nothing, but a ‘feel good factor’ under the Labour government. People were spending credit as opposed to their earnings. Each year increasing their mortgages to accommodate their new upgrades on cars, multiple annual family holidays and plasma televisions in every room. These kind of people added to the national debt and now find themselves in negative equity (rightly so?) and are now starting to loose their treasured possessions (which they never really owned or worked for?) and the worst case scenario is many situations, repossession of their property.

Yes, many people will feel sorry for the ones losing their homes, but just how many of these people are actually in this situation for genuine reasons? How many of them simply spent, spent, spent with absolutely no regard for future finacial situations?

People tag them as vultures, but these people that are now buying up cheap property from auctions and taking advantage of giveaway prices of cars etc because other people are trying to stay afloat should be looked up to and thanked for having been safer with their spending. Families that studied their monthly bills, never were tempted to take advantage of their limitless credit spending, that may even have rented foreseeing this property price crash, are the ones that will profit.

I think that over the next 2-3 years house prices will adjust to or maybe even below the inflation band. At present it will be those with cash that are king and those that borrowed too much that will be poor. This unfortunately is a cycle that has occured many times before and it’s a cycle that will continue in years to come.

These figures are released at more or less the same time as the RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) stated that house sales were at their lowest levels between December and February this year, that’s a new 31 year low.

“Around two-thirds of the homes will be built by housing associations, as private builders suspend developments until the market picks up”, NHF states.

This further cements the worsening Property Market in the UK and a very bleak outlook for 2009 and beyond. With self builders, house building companies and first time buyers all out of the picture it points towards increased property price falls. First time buyers are finding it near an impossibility purchasing as Bank’s lendings have become more difficult to obtain.

The average property price figures due soon also will no doubt show a downturn as the recession starts to take grip.
