A bank run is an event where bank customers try to withdraw more money from the bank than the bank can provide. Banks do not keep all customer deposits available in cash for immediate withdrawal. Instead, those assets are invested in loans and other types of investments. Likewise, banks only keep small amounts of cash stocked in vaults and automatic teller machines (ATMs). As a result, an overwhelming demand for deposits can leave a bank unable to give customers their money.
When a bank cannot satisfy customer demands for withdrawals—or if there’s a rumour that the bank will be unable to do so—the situation worsens. Customers fear being the “last one to the exit,” and they attempt to withdraw as much as possible. In a worst-case scenario, a bank may be unable to meet obligations, leading to complete failure.
1) Demand = Supply ----------- balance.
2) Demand > Supply ----------- moving upward.
3) Demand < Supply ----------- moving downward.
So like the bank run fear of losing money has scared the buyers and there are more sellers in the market. LRE Support Staff replied on Monday, November 6, 2017 09:17 AM
Dear Sir, I think there are a lot difference in bank reserves and Real Esate, the one most basic one is the bank reserves are just number in computer memory, they don't have physical existence, they keep on increasing and decreasing without anything in their backward. On the another side Real Estate (if it is not a fraudulent Society) is solid physical thing on ground. What happens when bank collapse the whole digits in computer evaporates, while in case of Correction in Real Estate only prices goes down temporarily. There are a lot of difference in Physical Wealth and Pure Capital. We should keep these differences in mind before making such comparisons, in other words your comparison is a category mistake. Kindly do correct me if I am wrong. Regards, Lahore Real Estate |

I am a Banker and know how a bank collapses. Real estate working is altogether different from bank. Even a strongest bank may collapse if mob people run over it. But this does not happen in like manner in real estate. If someone has a plot physically in hand, different options can be applied to comeback recession. |

I pointed to mechanics of mass action which can crush a solid bank. Here in real estate mass action is caused due to fear of correction where many people are waiting to resolve political situation. Wider fear has decreased buyers and increased sellers. |

Plots are being traded as stock market. As we all know that stock market do collapse. Now the time has come for the real estate market to make big correction. There is lot more supply than demand. When I am talking about demand I don't mean the investors. Demand of the people who wants to build homes and live there. That demand is way low or affordability issue. I think there was a good run and the time to get your money and run for cover! |

so what is so bad if plot prices go down ?, We are always happy if cars become cheaper or petrol prices are reduced or medicines get cheap. House is a basic necessity so the cheaper it would be, the more beneficial it will be for the majority of Pakistanis who do not have any hope of ever having their own house. |
