Price is very strong.
Could be £1650 later in the summer when it hits the other side of this Andrews fork.

Worth grabbing a sov or 2 if you're ok with spot price movements either way.

Hope someone finds this interesting:
 

Gold:

Average house price in 1975 (when my dad bought his first house no other reason for this date was) £10,388.

The price of Gold was around £70 per oz. So that’s around 148.4 ozs required to buy a house. 148:1

Todays average house price is £247,000. The current price of gold is around £1,400 per oz. So that’s around 176 ozs required, 176:1

So house prices have exceeded Gold over the last 45 years (based on the paper/spot price of gold of course). 

By end of this year, these figures could look a lot different if House prices fall and gold keeps rising, it could look more like 1975’s ratio???


Now Silver:

Average house price in 1975 at £10,388. The price of Silver was around £2 per oz. So that’s around 5,194 ozs required to buy a house. 5,194:1

Todays average house price at £247,000. The current price of silver is around £14 per oz. So that’s around 17,642ozs required. 17,642:1
 

Silvers not that great a PM as gold for keeping up with house prices it seems but maybe I picked a bad year?????? Few free to mess around with the years and let me know your result.

If anyone on the other side of the pond would like to do the USA version that would be good!!!

Maybe what may be more telling in today's climate and potential future would be an idea of property prices vs gold value in a given country and currency during/following a spell of inflation/hyperinflation. It's not something I'd thought about looking into but it's sparked my interest...

Yes, this is very interesting. Should the £ hyper inflate one day,  I’d also repay my interest only investment property ASAP with the cr@p fiat. I fixed my interest rates for the long term. We could all be mortgage free rather quickly should that happen, especially with fixed interest rates.

Its a good time if you hold some Gold and gold goes up massively against the dollar.

It will kill people with no savings though.

Yeah but even if you have cash savings it could be destroyed pretty quick.

I’m not hoping it happens but glad I’ve bought the insurance.
