I think people are still getting loans and buying property but I think the shift has swapped to a buyers market and we have been living in a sellers market for too long. Buyers need to be aware of current property market and make decisions based on knowledge and how you can gain from your property investment.

I agree with Clare's view above. It is the duty of the buyers to be aware of the current property market status and analyze and find out, what would be possible and take a right decision based on that.
