Muppets eh?
The prices are indeed similar to those a year ago. Which is why the year on year change figure is close to zero. Which is surprisingly close to what I said.
But you said "We're crossing the 0% line going down, equivalent to Mar/Apr 2008."
In what relevant sense, Kermit, is this "equivalent" to Mar/Apr 2008.0 -

Where did I say that, go back and read my post.
I did,
You saidWe're crossing the 0% line going down, equivalent to Mar/Apr 2008.
You made an error reading the graph, you are not the first, so don't dig to far. Just admit you made an error as Mar/Apr 2008 is totally irelevent to Dec 2010 YoY HPI.0 -
I didn't say that, reread my post.
sour grapes??
no, just much more intelligent than you...
now remind me how you worked out prices going negative YoY is less than the price was 2 years ago...
now go and do your homework you little boy...0 -

Equivalent means equal in value, if not explain what you mean with the Mar/Apr 2008 comment.

The trend is downwards, I haven't mentioned specific house prices.
You, like other muppets read things into posts.:rotfl:

Yes, the 0% now is equivalent to 0% in Mar/Apr 2008, it's 0%.
absolutely brilliant, excellent analysis. but a wrong one...
you really are a blunt instrument but YoY graphs don't work that way... i'd try again if i was you...
you're best left alone and your size 36 Windings font, you're beyond help...0 -
i did, you don't understand YoY graphs and notional values.

Oh dear you really don't understand, from positive HPI the graph has to go down to make prices the same as the year before.
That does not mean prices are falling, it means prices are stagnating.
if you had 10% HPI and a horizontal line for then next year that would mean you had constant YoY 10% gains. Not the same value.0
