    I had thought we'd hit the bottom in Autum 2010 but a few more months like this and I reckon we'll hit it by the end of the year.

    GREEN SHOOTS..WHERE ARE THEY?...




    the average home lost ~£3,700 in one month...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    But my enjoyment of living in my home has not diminished by 2.3%, Prices have another 10-15% to fall yet, the monthly figure at this stage doesn't really mean anything. It's when we get down another 10% that it will become interesting

    try three more years of falls and stagnation and you might be nearer the mark...remember the market went up 300% so what can it fall too? this is just the entree.

    My desert picture from the Nationwide thread has been updated, unfortunately unlike that one, the green shoots aren't visible with naked eye.:D

    But mine doesn't cost anything, do you not pay any rent? I don't worry about ownership, why should I? I love where I live I even refused an offer 20% over market value for my house
