    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.
    Don't bother, you can't recover it.

    You're arguing about something I didn't say. ;):):D :rotfl:

    We're crossing the 0% line going down, equivalent to Mar/Apr 2008.

    You said the trend is downwards? please explain how prices being the same as last year is a downward trend in YoY HPI?

    Maybe he means the rate of change is equivalent.

    But surely he'd have said that by now...

    Not that it matters.

    Since you've been misunderstood, why don't you recap what you meant when you said that we're now in the same situation as we were in in March 2008? Because it certainly would appear that you've mistaken YOY changes for value and are now backtracking furiously.

    Just a thought.
