As a top up to last week’s column on what drives housing markets here are some further thoughts. I don’t engage in what the market did in 1894, 1945, or all those historic analyses. I saw a rerun-on Bullseye, the darts programme when I was in a hotel room and Bully’s special prize was an electric typewriter. The chap who won it was over the moon. Things have moved on. The modern-day economy has little in connection with anything really unless its post the surge of homeownership in the ‘80s. The spikes in the market are pretty marked after that point and relate more to how we currently think about property and have access to it…
