| Comment | It may sound harsh, but look elsewhere? Prices in the Westend have *always* been mental and they're doubly (triply? quadruply?) mental now given how poor housing stock is.
Unless there is a compelling reason where they *must be* in Bearsden/Westend, then they need to look to areas they can afford. Or push more on the non-financial benefits they offer as a buyer "No chain, ready to move any time" etc.
One option would be to buy off-plan (often cheaper) for a fixed price in a development, live there for a couple of years, and then use that to move to somewhere better. Only problem? Most developments are soulless carbuncles in the ass-end of nowhere (minor exception - bunch mid-rise of shit going up near Pollok Park Newlands/Shawlands area in the Southside).
As for a crash...it's looking likely (Michael Burry is close to claiming global recession), but timing the market is a fool's game. When buying a home, buy a *home*. |
