Be good if they do drop imo to be honest.
I know it's bad for homeowners, who stand to lose money. But it's become silly, all the investors have bought the cheaper properties at the low end of the market, meaning there is no affordable housing for new-comers to the market - all is well if your already on the ladder, if your not, you have no hope!
Who do the government want to look after? The investors with buy to let houses etc, or to be able to provide housing for a generation of the population.
