the war in Iran, what could this mean?
0:02
How inflationary could this become?
0:04
>> Well, first of all, for the housing
0:06
market, it's just bad news whether
0:08
you're a buyer or a seller because as if
0:10
it wasn't already difficult enough to
0:11
move house, the transaction times taking
0:14
5 6 months, this just makes that worse
0:18
for everyone. So, if a people who are
0:19
just moving because they need to move
0:21
because life says you need to move, it's
0:23
going to get harder. Even 1 week in, the
0:25
ripple effects that we're already seeing
0:27
in the mortgage markets, potential
0:29
inflation, the disruption to energy
0:31
markets, uh that's that's going to cause
0:33
a real wobble. It's probably going to
0:35
snuff out any spring bounce in the
0:38
market people might have been hoping
0:39
for.
