I think house prices is grossly over inflated at the moment, it has been for the last few year.... the value of my house, has risen by over 100% (I bough it just five years ago). The house I sold to move to my current house has increased in value about 150% since I sold it..
How crazy is that?

Two of my neighbours have done the same, I wish my garden was large enough to do the same
