You're right about people who buy homes rather than investment properties to a point but I wouldn't be happy if I bought an apartment for 200k and five years later it was only worth £150. Yes, once we are in we can always sit it out and that's what people will do but if I was to hold my money back for now, I may well be in a position to buy at a much cheaper rate sometime soon.
