US House Prices at One Third of their 2001 Value
By The Anglo American | March 10, 2008
It only takes 240 ounces of gold to buy a US house. There has never been a better time to melt the jewelry. In gold terms, an average US house price has dropped to one third of its 2001 value.*Europe is also beginning to feel the destructive wind that has torn through the US housing market. The UK house prices are in retreat after many years of explosive growth and Spain is thought to follow suite by the summer......... This decline is not driven by a European sub-prime market failure........... So how healthy is your bank?
