The only 3.7% in the report refers to wages. Maybe Declan just mis read the wrong figure in front of 5 million viewers live on National TV.
Its still £2,500 off a price of a London property for me but I would of rather the £8,000 though.:rolleyes::exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.

Oh its the way Halifax do their 3 month average thing. Using their 3 month average, its down 0.9% YoY.
Doing a straight Apr 07 - Apr 08 (like Nationwide), its down 3.7% YoY. Ouch.0 -

Cool, I'm still a tad confused. Waiting for Business segment on BBC to listen carefully.

What is the definition of a "crash"? More than 4% I suspect and for a sustained period. How much have prices gone up by over 5 years?
I think this is a correction having regard to all of the circumstances in the World - particularly credit liquidity and economic slow down. I don't see prices losing more than a couple of year's growth though.
Personally I've just exchanged contracts on our sale. We'll sit this out and see what happens. However, I will be buying back in just as soon as it seems sensible to do so.0 -

My understand is that a crash is defined at >20% losses from peak.0
